Upper Canada Village opens for season
June 14, 2021
One of the region’s most popular attractions is set to open its doors on Thursday, June 17th with modified programming.
The St. Lawrence Parks Commission has announced that Upper Canada Village will reopen on Thursday in a modified version that is in line with the Ontario government’s recent move into step one of its Roadmap to Reopen Ontario plan. The historic village will be offering outdoor walking tours in step one.
Beginning Thursday and running to June 30th, Upper Canada Village invites guests to enjoy the beauty and serenity of its site as a living history museum as a sneak peek before the village opens fully later in the reopening framework. A 90-minute guided walking tour will take guests through the village presenting exciting historic facts and scenic views. Please note, during this time, heritage buildings will be closed and the only interpretation on-site will be the walking tours.
Safety remains a top priority as the village embarks on a new season. Guests are asked to plan ahead and be prepared. Staff will be relying on the cooperation of all to adhere to physical distancing and onsite guidelines.
More details will follow as Upper Canada Village prepares to open with additional features on July 1st following all Covid-19 protocols.
