Craft with Us - July & August
Join us for Craft with Us at the Transcona Museum! Create crafts related to the theme of the week and Transcona's history! We have three timeslots available on every crafting day; 10:45 am, 1:00 pm, and 2:30 pm. Each timeslot is for 45 minutes. After the 45 minutes are up, you are welcome to continue your visit at the museum but must vacate the crafting area so it and the items used may be cleaned and disinfected.
Pre-registration is required as space is limited. Participants must register for a table (seating for up to 3 children, not including a parent or guardian). One parent must accompany the child if they are under 12. Masks are required when visiting the Transcona Museum. Registration is closed for summer 2022.
