<div dir="ltr">Hello everyone,<div><br></div><div>As we prepare to head into the weekend, I wanted to provide a quick update on the review status of our reopening guidelines. Due to the high volume of guidelines from different sectors currently being reviewed by the Provincial Government, the review process is taking longer than expected. The moment we receive approval of our guidelines, we will share them with members.</div><div><br></div><div>In the meantime to help members explore different models for reopening their sites to the public, we're curating a list of examples from outside of BC on our website. This page is updated regularly: <a href="http://museumsassn.bc.ca/how-museums-around-the-world-are-reopening-during-covid-19/">http://museumsassn.bc.ca/how-museums-around-the-world-are-reopening-during-covid-19/</a></div><div><br></div><div>We also interviewed the Creston Museum today on our podcast. Their museum reopened on the 20th and we discussed how their first few days of being reopened have gone.
