COVID-19 Update: March 15, 9:00am

With the health and safety of our visitors in mind, and in light of recommendations from the Ontario Chief Medical Officer of Health, Eldon House will be temporarily closed to the public beginning Sunday, March 15.

 

We have made this decision out of an abundance of caution and in protection of our visitors, staff, volunteers, and the community.

We understand this will have a significant impact on visitors and families. We will continue to look to federal, provincial, and local health authorities to determine the length of this closure. Updates will be provided as they become available.

We encourage friends and visitors to check the Eldon House website and social media channels for up-to-date information.

Accurate and current information on COVID-19 (coronavirus) can be found at https://www.healthunit.com/ and https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid-19.html.

We acknowledge that we are on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak and Attawandaron. We honour and respect the history, languages and culture of the diverse Indigenous people who call this territory home.

We acknowledge all the treaties that are specific to this area: the Two Row Wampum Belt Treaty of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy/Silver Covenant Chain; the Beaver Hunting Grounds of the Haudenosaunee NANFAN Treaty of 1701; the McKee Treaty of 1790, the London Township Treaty of 1796, the Huron Tract Treaty of 1827, with the Anishinaabeg, and the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum of the Anishnaabek and Haudenosaunee.

The three Indigenous Nations that are neighbours to London are the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation; Oneida Nation of the Thames; and the Munsee-Delaware Nation who all continue to live as sovereign Nations with individual and unique languages, cultures, and customs.
