🍂 The primary language of delivery for this program is English. Any printed materials will be provided in both official languages (English/French).
🍂 This is a drop-in style program; families are welcome to join the activities at any time during the advertised hours. The activity is offered while supplies last.
🍂 Activities are best suited for families with children aged 6 to 12 but all are welcome. Younger children may require the assistance of an adult or older sibling to complete the activities.
🍂 The museum is a historic house. Due to building standards of the time, not all parts of the museum may be accessible to all. The program is delivered on the second floor which is up a flight of stairs. If you have questions or concerns regarding accessibility, contact the museum at 613-580-9638 (Nepean Museum) or [email protected].

Le 18 octobre - Jouez, bricolez et créez à la Maison historique Fairfields (3080, chemin Richmond). Nous invitons les familles à faire preuve de créativité en participant à des activités à la carte inspirées des métiers d’autrefois et de l’histoire locale. En prime, les participants pourront explorer le musée d’un nouveau point de vue, grâce à une chasse au trésor amusante, adaptée aux enfants. Prix d’entrée : contribution volontaire.

Pots pincés en argile

ottawa.ca/maisonfairfields

🍂 Le programme se déroulera principalement en anglais. Tous les documents imprimés seront fournis dans les deux langues officielles (anglais/français).
🍂 Il s’agit d’un programme de type « à la carte »; nous invitons ainsi les familles à participer aux activités à tout moment pendant les heures annoncées. L’activité est offerte jusqu’à épuisement des stocks.
🍂 Les activités proposées conviennent bien aux familles ayant des enfants de 6 à 12 ans, mais tout le monde peut y participer. Les enfants plus jeunes auront peut-être besoin de l’aide d’un adulte ou d’un frère ou d’une sœur plus âgé(e) pour réaliser l’activité.
🍂 Le musée est une demeure historique. Comme celle-ci a été construite selon les normes de l’époque, il est possible que certaines parties ne soient pas accessibles pour tous. Le programme se déroule au deuxième étage, accessible par un escalier. Si vous avez des questions ou des préoccupations concernant l’accessibilité, veuillez appeler au 613-580-9638 (Musée de Nepean) ou écrire à l’adresse [email protected].
