COVID-19 Safety Protocols

We remain committed to following Health and Safety directions as they are received from the Province, KFL&A Public Health, and the City of Kingston.

The safety of our visitors and our staff remains our first priority. We have updated our cleaning and tour processes and want to share with you some of the things we are doing as part of our commitment to safety. We also want you to have the information you need to plan for your visit and so you know what to expect when you arrive at our site.

A safety plan is available for staff and visitors in keeping with Ontario's COVID-19 response framework.
