On March 21, the West Parry Sound District Museum had a pipe burst in their attic. Most of the damage was contained to one side of the building. The model train, offices and Collections Storage were not affected.

No artifacts were damaged thanks to the quick response of the Parry Sound Fire Department. The Museum is working yo fix the damage to the building and maintain safe working conditions amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Staff will continue to work behind the scenes to provide new content via our website and social media accounts.

Museum staff would like to give a big thank you to the Parry Sound Fire Department for saving any artifacts that might have been in harm's way, and to the volunteers that jumped in to help clean up the water and prevent further damage.
