Canadian museums are sparking a national conversation about the value of museums and about how they can sustain, adapt and grow their positive impact in our communities in a changing world.
The Museums for Me engagement campaign explores what Canadians value about museums, and how museums must evolve to better meet Canadians’ needs and interests.
Canadians can participate by completing an online survey, engaging on social media, and participating in online dialogue sessions to be hosted in November and December 2020.
Direct input will be supplemented by public opinion research and an extensive literature review by Dr. Victoria Dickenson, an independent consultant, who lends the project her four decades of research and leadership in the museums sector.
Museums for Me is undertaken with support from the Government of Canada by a consortium of provincial and territorial museums associations:
- Alberta Museums Association
- Association Heritage New Brunswick
- Association of Manitoba Museums
- BC Museums Association
- Canadian Museums Association
- Community Museums Association
- Museum Association of Newfoundland and Labrador
- Museums Association of Saskatchewan
- Ontario Museum Association
- Société des Musées du Québec
- Yukon Historical and Museum Association
