The popular St. Marys Museum seminar series returns for its eleventh season this fall with two engaging evening presentations.
On Thursday, October 19 at 7:00 p.m., the Museum will hold a seminar about historical facts and superstitions around death. Just in time for Halloween, this presentation will explore Victorian death and dying traditions in early St. Marys. It will also delve into interesting monuments in the cemetery and what they can teach us.
On Thursday, November 16 at 7:00 p.m., the stories of local Amish families in the community will be presented. This seminar will explore the impact of the Amish community in this region, from their arrival in the Wellburn/Uniondale area in 1959 up to their recent out-migration to Michigan.
The seminars are fundraisers for the Museum. The cost per person is $12 or $10 for Museum members. Space is limited and therefore pre-registration is necessary. For more information or to register, call 519-284-3556 or email museum@town.stmarys.on.ca.

Aquatics Centre to be closed for renovations starting November 11
The Aquatics Centre has been closed to the public since November 2024, to accommodate renovations to the space that would address safety concerns caused by saltwater and high humidity. These renovations were deemed essential to ensure the facility could be used safely and effectively by the community. Due to unexpected recently discovered structural issues caused by saltwater and high humidity stemming from insufficiently sized HVAC equipment installed during the original construction, the renovation work is now expected to extend the closure until fall 2025.
The Town is hosting a drop-in Open House in the EndZone of the Pyramid Recreation Centre on Wednesday, June 18 from 5 to 7 PM. Residents will have the chance to observe the progress of the renovation to date and ask questions.
