Current Queen’s House Status
Queen’s House continues its journey to be accessible to all of our guests and groups as much as we can following the guidance and advice of our provincial health and medical authorities and our Department of Tourism. We are accepting and hosting all bookings that fall within the current health and civic guidelines and to the extent that we are able to accommodate these with our limited staff complement. Guidelines to assist you with your planning are below:

Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate individual requests for access to our Stillness Chapel and quiet time due to our limited staff compliment and environmental economy. We are constantly monitoring developments with and within our community as this plan and the circumstances that impact us unfold. We will continue to determine and adopt the best course of action using this information.
