This March Break, families can enjoy all that the Sault Ste. Marie museums have to offer with the Cultural Corridor Connection. By purchasing a Cultural Corridor Connection Pass, community members can join in activities and events at six locations from March 14-19.
The participating sites include The Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre, the Ermatinger-Clergue National Historic Site, the Sault Ste. Marie Museum, Entomica Insectarium, Art Gallery of Algoma and the Sault Ste. Marie Public Library.
“Essentially for the price of attending one venue, you’ll get access to all of them,” said Brian Bubinas, Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre Curator.
Passes are $25 and can be purchased online or in-person at the Ermatinger-Clergue National Historic Site, or at the Sault Ste. Marie Public Library. Family passes accommodate two adults and up to four children, or one adult and up to five children.
The pass also includes access to the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre’s new temporary exhibit, The Science of Guinness World Records.
“It’s a very interactive, fun exhibit for the whole family,” Bubinas said. “You can test your skills and see how you size up against the record holders. There’s a lot of fun elements to it and we’ve had a great reaction so far.”
Some of the other planned activities include a hands-on insect tour at Entomica Insectarium, an artifact hunt at the Sault Ste. Marie Museum, baking and crafts at the Ermatinger Clergue National Historic Site, and dinosaur-themed activities at the James L. McIntyre Centennial Library.
“We’re thrilled to be working with our partners around town. We’ve already sold over 60 passes so far,” Bubinas said. “We’re optimistic and looking forward to welcoming the community back into our spaces.”
“We understand a lot of families still aren't travelling, so this is a nice opportunity to spend the week visiting some of our cultural venues here. We hope the city comes out to visit us,” he said.
The full schedule of events can be found on the online flyer, in addition, The Bushplane Kids Club is hosting a plane building contest if your child loves planes and has a competitive streak.
