Canada at Play Exhibit

The Canada at Play exhibit is held over at Glanmore National Historic Site. The exhibit was visiting Glanmore from the Royal Ontario Museum when the museum temporarily closed due to the public health crisis this past March.  Glanmore reopens July 14, 2020 and has been able to hold over the exhibit to allow our community another opportunity to enjoy for a limited time.  

This exhibition takes a look at our favourite games and toys over the past 130 years. Despite the 20th century’s astonishing developments in science, medicine and technology, some things have remained constant. Children still play with dolls and farm sets. Skating, tobogganing and playing hockey remain an integral part of Canadian winters.

The exhibition is presented in English and French, and is divided into four sections. All generations will enjoy this exhibition, celebrating what is common to us all!
