IMG 1859 560The Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre (BCM&CC) is teaming up with the Bruce County Public Library system to offer access to culture and heritage in the region with the creation of the Museum Explorer Pass. Both institutions recognize their shared client base and hope to provide great accessibility so patrons can enjoy a full museum experience.

As a pilot program in 2017, there will be one Museum Explorer Pass available to borrow in a number of Bruce County Library branches throughout the region including Port Elgin and Southampton in Saugeen Shores.

The Pass will offer free admission to BCM&CC, excluding ticketed and speciality programs and events. The Pass covers admission for an individual or a family and is applicable for a seven-day loan period. Anyone with a valid Bruce County Library card may access the Pass and it can be reserved through the on-hold services of any of the library branches.

“We are very excited to offer this new lending opportunity to our members,” said Melissa Legacy, Director of the Bruce Public Library. “Any resident of Bruce County can register for a free library card. This gives members access to our many resources and now means they can enjoy free admission to the museum.” Legacy added that they look forward to working with the museum in offering the service.

"This new program is an excellent way for individuals and families to experience what the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre has to offer. Through the convenience of accessing the Museum Explorer Pass at any of the Bruce County libraries, library card holders can easily pick up the pass and enjoy free admission to the museum,” said Cathy McGirr, Director of the BCM&CC. “We are extremely thrilled to be able to partner with our local library branches to offer this service.”
