Collecting the Pandemic - Community Stories

Share your experience with future Brockvillians!

The Brockville Museum’s mandate is to capture Brockville stories. As we are currently living through a major event in history, we have the responsibility to record these events for future generations. We are reaching out to the community to gather local stories and accounts of everyday life during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have prepared a brief questionnaire which will be placed in our research files. By completing and submitting this questionnaire, you grant the museum permission to use this information in any future exhibition, promotion, programming, or any other way the museum deems relevant.  Thank you for being a part of history!

We are also happy to accept narrative accounts and photographs. Please visit our website for details on how to submit, or email us at museum@brockville.com. Thank you.
