Theme: Approaches to Reopening

Opening remarks by Florencia Berinstein, Executive Director, Workers Arts & Heritage Centre, Hamilton, ON

Senior Policy Advisor Rebecca Weinfeld and Policy Advisor Taylor Noble of the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries will also be in attendance to respond to questions about how the Step 3 regulation applies to museums.

Target audience: small to mid-sized museums

In this facilitated discussion, participants will chat about the decisions they must make when planning for reopening and hear about what their colleagues learned from previous experience. This is an opportunity to ask for advice, compare notes and get inspiration from your colleagues.

Some of the questions we will explore include:

• How is your reopening approach the same or different from previous re-openings in the past year?
• What did you learn from previous re-openings that informs how you are approaching this one?
• Once your site has reopened, what are your main concerns going into the fall?
