Heritage House Museum celebrates International Women’s Day, March Break

JANELLE LABELLE

During the Smiths Falls council meeting on Monday night, Mayor Shawn Pankow proclaimed March 8 as International Women’s Day. This is a day to “rally for women’s equality and celebrate women’s achievements.” The theme for this year’s Women’s Day is “Inspire Inclusion.”

Councilor Jay Brennan shared an update from the Heritage House Museum pertinent to the upcoming International Women’s Day.

“In 2022, the Heritage House Museum began celebrating remarkable women of Smiths Falls. This year, they’ve added 8 more women,” Brennan shared. 

This is a traveling exhibit. Many local businesses will display panels with images and stories of the remarkable women of Smiths Falls; pop into shops in Smiths Falls’ downtown business district to learn more. 

These will be on display until March 31.

As well, the Heritage House Museum will be busy over the upcoming March break, with a free Paddling Puppeteers show on Tuesday, March 12, from 11am-2pm. On Wednesday, March 13, the Museum will also be hosting a free drop-in activity and craft from 11am-2pm. The last two days of March Break, the 14th and 15th, day camp is available for children ages 6-12. These events require registration, a fee of $40, and take place from 10am-3pm.
