Popsilos 2020: The circuit opens on July 3rd with two new murals
The Popsilos circuit is a great way to escape the routine and set your imagination free. We're happy to bring to you two fresh new murals on the circuit. This past June, The Drouin Farm at 1230, route 400 in Casselman, welcomed muralist Dodo Ose who painted an artwork themed "The Sowing" and the Robert and Louise Lalande Farm at 1163, Caledonia Springs Road in Alfred, welcomed muralist Ankh One who painted an artwork themed "Vulnerability". Here's a recap on visiting the circuit during the COVID-19 pandemic and a few tips and tricks before you head out. Enjoy!
During the COVID-19 pandemic, visitors must respect physical distancing rules published by the Public Health Agency of Canada (2 metres or 6 feet). It is recommended to have an alcohol-based sanitizing gel with which to disinfect hands before leaving your vehicule and at the end of your visit. Farms that have commercial businesses in addition to a silo have established COVID-19 guidelines that must be respected should visitors take part in any of that business' activities.
- Map and information is all online on the popsilos.ca website. Your smart phone will be handy!
- Make sure the farmers’ properties are open to the public for the time at which you plan to visit. Every site has its own hours of operations. If not, you can view the silo from the roadside.
- Respect the signs or barriers set-up by the farmers on their properties where entrance is prohibited. Buildings, equipment, tools or any other objects are off limit. You are responsible for your own safety and security on site.
- Be respectful of the environment.
- Learn about the artwork online at popsilos.ca.
- Wear comfortable shoes suitable to farm grounds!
- You may or may not be greeted on site. All depends on the farmers’ workday! If they’re free, they’ll love to chat!
