Woodland Cultural Centre in Brantford, Ontario is extending the Quilt of Belonging show until August 29th as the museum closed just two weeks into the exhibit due to the pandemic. We will let you know when the museum reopens.
We are living in difficult times and never has it been more important to recognize our Canadian connections and the threads that bind us. Now is the time to exercise love and patience with one another as we are all in this together.
