This year, we are very excited to hold our June meeting at the Muskoka Discovery Centre in Gravenhurst!
The meeting will begin at 12:30 pm with a Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon to thank our dedicated and hard-working members and volunteers, followed by a brief MWC meeting and a talk by Muskoka Discovery Centre staff about the development of their new exhibit ‘The Muskoka Story’, which includes three amazing and insightful world class exhibits about the Muskoka we all love and cherish. Starting with the Indigenous presence in Muskoka for more than 10,000 years, then focusing on the last 250 years of development and finishing with an electrified Wanda III as a symbol of our need for sustainability in all parts of our life. The meeting will wrap up with a sneak peek of the new exhibits, which are slated to open later this summer.
