Tours and events
- When we are open, we are able to facilitate private tours with members of the same household or school fieldtrips with class-cohorts;
- Please prebook your tour to allow our team time to prepare for your visit.
Information collected in our booking form will be collected as part of the LDHS’s Covid-19 Response Plan. This information may be used to contact visitors in the event a visitor or staff member tests positive for Covid-19, or provided to Alberta Health Services should they need to provide necessary public health guidance to the LDHS in the event a visitor or staff member tests positive for Covid-19. Unused information will be destroyed after two weeks. The collection and protection of the personal information collected for this purpose is done so under the guidelines of the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).
Cleaning and Personal Safety
- Washrooms are closed until further notice;
- Public spaces, displays and seating are cleaned at regular intervals;
- Please provide feedback to staff on how we can better serve you during this time.
The staff at the Lacombe Museums continue to monitor their own health on a daily basis. Should a member of the staff exhibit two or more symptoms, or be in contact with anyone who is showing symptoms related to COVID-19, they immediately self-isolate for 14 days and alert health care professionals.
