Gardens:
Ready for our next Learn From Home activity?! Today we will be learning all about Pioneer Gardens. Explore what the pioneers planted and how they used what they grew.
Hint: they used the things in their gardens for much more than just food!
We’d love to see the pictures you complete for this activity, send them to: wsmuseum@townofws.ca.

Archaeology:
This week, dig into the topic of archaeology! What does it mean to be an archaeologist and what happens if you find an artifact while on a hike?
Explore these topics and more in this Learn From Home module, as well as an at-home activity sure to bring out the archaeologist in the entire family!

Pandemic Journal format and suggestions

Pandemic Journal:
Calling all residents of Whitchurch-Stouffville!  The Whitchurch-Stouffville Museum & Community Centre is asking for your participation in a project to keep a record of your experience during this unprecedented time.
We’re asking that you share your story by completing a journal of your daily life as you navigate through self-isolation & social/physical distancing (you can do this as a family or as an individual). We’re providing you with some suggestions (seen in the image on the left).  However, you can share any information that you feel is important. The purpose of collecting this information is to share our experience with future generations. You can also submit photos you’d like included in the historic record to the email address below.
Your journals can be submitted at any time following the resolution of the Covid-19 Pandemic via email to: wsmuseum@townofws.ca or you can mail it directly to the Museum:
Whitchurch-Stouffville Museum & Community Centre
14732 Woodbine Avenue
Stouffville, ON L4A 2K9

Personal information contained in this form is collected under the authority of subsection 2.4 of the Whitchurch-Stouffville Museum & Community Centre Research Policy. The goal of this project is to collect information about our individual experiences for the historic record of our community during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Questions about this collection should be directed to: Museum Curator/Supervisor, Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, 14732 Woodbine Ave, Whitchurch-Stouffville, ON L4A 2K9 (905) 640-1910 or 1-855-642-8697 x 3292.
