@LairdLeod @FlemingCollege @PtboMuseum @CityPtbo @ATUComm @atu_canada @KenWilsonATUIVP What a generous donation! Thank you so much @atu_canada @LairdLeod @ATUComm for supporting @FlemingCollege @MMC_Students in their projects! I can’t wait to see how their new permanent exhibit at the @PtboMuseum turns out.

Stage 3 and 4 is where archaeologists get their hands dirty with large excavations and screens on tripods that you sometimes see in that far-flung agricultural field. This is also where Indigenous Engagement is specifically required from a Ministry perspective.

@RiverviewZoo @TwpofScugog Great idea @ScugogMuseum for putting those extra pumpkins to a good use. Hazard looks like he’s enjoying it.

Here’s a look inside the @CndnCanoeMuseum warehouse where around 500 canoes, kayaks and watercraft not on exhibit are stored. All of these will eventually be moved to the museum’s new location on Ashburnham Dr. opening in 2023. @CHEXNewswatch
