What to Expect

To help with physical distancing, a number of new protocols have been developed including:

• Reduced building capacity.
• Visitors are required to book an appointment in advance, either by phone 519-845-5426 or through our online reservation system.

• If visitors do not have an appointment, they will only be accommodated as space and time allow.
