Milton Historical Society has suspended all of its face-to-face community programming until further notice, as part of Canada’s efforts to halt the spread of the COVID-19 virus across the country. However, the Society is uploading new video presentations about local history to its youtube site monthly, between December 2020 and March 2021. The Society will also continue to publish The Journal quarterly and on Social Media.

The MHS Board of Directors will continue to monitor Canada’s progress daily in fighting the coronavirus and revise its 2021 calendar of events, as required. All updates will be posted to its website at www.miltonhistoricalsociety.ca.

The Waldie Blacksmith Shop and Archives will be closed until further notice.

For further information, please call 905-875-4156 or email info@miltonhistoricalsociety.ca.

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

• Stay at home unless absolutely necessary
• Wash your hands with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand rub
• Carry hand sanitizer and tissues with you at all times
• Maintain a 2-metre distance between yourself and others, where feasible
• Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or sleeve
• Wear a clean face mask when in the presence of others, where feasible
