The Burk’s Falls & District Historical Society and the Township of Armour have canceled the Heritage Day and the Firefighter Challenge for 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic While there is some “optimism” with more and more people receiving COVID-19 vaccines, it ultimately became clear that even if public health measures start to loosen they won’t loosen to the point where we can once again have the large events without strict protocols in place.

It is after careful thought and consideration that the Historical society felt it was necessary to safely distance, limit social gatherings and to cancel Heritage Day 2021 for the benefit and safety of the community. This decision is for the benefit of our members and community that we adhere to social distancing guidelines by canceling our largest social gathering event. 



The Burk’s Falls & District Historical Society maintains the safety of members and the community must be a priority if we are sincere in our obligation towards the much larger global community. We will be sure to keep you updated on the status of the heritage sites as a return to normal is no longer the goal, but instead this is the time for new business models and strategies.
