A proposal to move the Dionne Quints from North Bay back to Corbeil is closer to reality. The museum will close its doors to the public Monday afternoon.
Roch Legros and Russell Robinson of North Bay, presently own the former Dionne Farmstead property in Corbeil.
They are offering to accommodate the relocation of the Dionne Homestead to the former Dionne Farmstead at no cost or fee.
The two are also pledging $10,000 of their own personal funds to help finance the move and site preparation.

Legros told BayToday that a meeting he had with Community Services Chair Mark King and the committee looking into the future of the home went "very well".
"They are very interested in the proposal and moving forward," Legros said. "It will take some time naturally to see what this will look like in the end.
"I was very encouraged," he said of the meeting. "This is very positive . I think its good for North Bay, its good for East Ferris."
He is now seeking public support.
King says his committee is working with Legros to see if an agreement can be worked out to move the home.
