The Callander Bay Heritage Museum is looking for stories about life during the pandemic.

Natasha Wiatr is curator of the museum.

She says we’re living through a significant moment in history and they want to show what people are going through.

“Photographs of empty streets or closed businesses. It’s almost like we want people to think that if they come to the museum in 20 or 30 years and there’s an exhibit on this and they bring their kids or grand kids they can try to show what people lived through,” she says.

Wiatr was asked what she ‘s looking for.

“Photos, social media clips and video clips. And at some point in the future when we do re-open we’ll be accepting physical objects like hand made signs that have been put in windows or home made masks that people have been making,” Wiatr says.

She says also journals, poems, artwork, and other mediums that demonstrate personal experiences.

This project is open to residents, both past and present, and those that work in the Municipality of Callander.

To make a submission send the museum an e mail at museum@callander.ca and request a submission form.
