Accounts of Old Brewery Bay

May 25 - December 31

The property at Old Brewery Bay served as an inspiration for some of Leacock's finest writing, and time has not lessened its calming and invigorating effect. Accounts of Old Brewery Bay features artwork from the museum's permanent collection inspired by the property over its lifetime.

Come and visit the upstairs galleries and view the Accounts of Old Brewery Bay. All exhibits are included in the price of admission. For more details call 705-329-1908.

The Old YMCA Exhibit and Time Capsule

Coming Soon

Affectionately known as the Old Y, the building was constructed in 1906 and housed the first and only indoor pool north of Toronto for the next 40 years. The building was a community gathering place for many years despite two major fires, the latter of which condemned the building in 1983. The only thing that remains of the original building is the pool and first floor brickwork. The building was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act in 1988 due to its cultural, historical and architectural significance.

On Saturday, September 29, 2018 the site’s 100+ year old time capsule was opened as part of the unveiling of a new storyboard marking the site’s history. 

Come and visit the upstairs galleries and view the contents of the time capsule and learn the history of the Old YMCA. All exhibits are included in the price of admission. For more details call 705-329-1908.

This exhibit is graciously on loan from the St. James Court Non-Profit Housing Cooperation.
