Ottawa museums set to reopen with limited capacity

By Alex Black

As Ontario enters Step 3 of its 'Roadmap to Reopening,' three Ottawa museums will reopen their doors to the public this weekend.

The National Gallery of Canada and the Canadian Museum of Nature are set to reopen on Friday, July 16, while the Canadian War Museum will reopen on Saturday, July 17.

The Diefenbunker Museum is opening next week, on Wednesday, July 21.

The third phase of Ontario's reopening plan allows museums to reopen at 50 per cent capacity, to allow for social distancing.

Directional signage will guide you through the museums and masks will be mandatory.

The Canadian Museum of Science and Technology has not yet announced its reopening date, while the Canadian Museum of History has been open since early June because it's in Gatineau.
