Milton Historical Society has suspended all of its community programming until May 1, 2020, at the earliest as part of Canada’s efforts to halt the spread of the COVID-19 virus across the country.

The MHS Board of Directors will continue to monitor Canada’s progress daily in fighting the coronavirus and revise its 2020 calendar of events, as required. All updates will be posted to its website at www.miltonhistoricalsociety.ca.

The Waldie Blacksmith Shop will be closed to the public until May 1, 2020, at this writing. However, individual blacksmith training and individual historical research work will continue on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The Shop is fully stocked with those items required to ensure those members of the public who have business there are safe, including access to hand sanitizer, tissues and soap and hot water for hand-washing.

The best way to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses, including coronavirus (COVID-19), is to:

• Wash your hands with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand rub;
• Carry hand sanitizer and tissues with you at all times;
• Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or sleeve; and
• Stay home when ill.
