The Community Waterfront Heritage Centre is pleased to acknowledge that we have received funding from the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP). This funding has allowed us to start our new project: Social Prescriptions Engage Cultural Seniors (SPECS).

To learn more about SPECS and keep up to date on its developments, click here or go to waterfrontheritage.ca/specs.

You can find a listing of SPECS events on our calendar here.

Have you found any favourite artifacts on display since we opened for the season? If you have, you might want to adopt and artifact! The CWHC’s Adopt-an-Artifact program provides a way for you to directly contribute to our mission of preserving and presenting local history.

When you adopt an artifact, you’ll receive an adoption certificate and a full write-up that tells you all about its history. In the museum, your support will be included with the artifact on display. Artifacts can be adopted at four tiers: Bronze ($25), Silver ($50), Gold ($75) and Platinum ($100). Adoptions last for a 1-year period.

To inquire about adopting an artifact, email curator@waterfrontheritage.ca or call 519-371-3333.
