Provincial Historic Sites across the province will open their doors in a multi-phase approach for Stay Home Year 2020.

• On Saturday, July 4, Cape Bonavista, Cupids and the Newman Wine Vaults will open to the public.
• On Saturday, July 11, Beothuk Interpretation Centre, Commissariat House, Heart’s Content Cable Station, Mockbeggar Plantation and the sites at Trinity will open to the public.

Point Amour Lighthouse Provincial Historic Site is scheduled to open later in July.

All sites will have one-way flow patterns for visitors, with designated ‘entrance and ‘exit’ doors where possible, and visitors will be encouraged to pay admission fees via credit/debit card.

Non-medical face masks are encouraged inside buildings, where keeping a distance of two metres is difficult. Protect yourself and your family by practicing good hygiene, by washing your hands with soap and water, or using hand sanitizer before and after touching common surfaces, such as door knobs, flush handles and taps.

All visitors and staff are reminded to adhere to any public health orders issued. Physical distancing must be maintained, and entry can be denied to anyone exhibiting flu or cold like symptoms. For the most up-to-date information related to COVID-19, please visit www.gov.nl.ca/covid-19.
