Please support the long term viability of Museums and Heritage Institutions across the country by providing your input through this Government of Canada / Canadian Heritage survey.
The Department of Canadian Heritage wants to know what Canadians think. The Government of Canada is seeking input from all Canadians, whether in Canada or abroad, who have an interest in, or want to share their opinion on, museums in Canada…
The purpose of these consultations is to gather views on issues of importance to Canadians, Indigenous partners and the heritage sector. Responses will help build a federal vision for the museum sector, which will be used to adapt or improve existing federal measures to ensure that our cultural heritage is protected, and that heritage institutions continue to be a place where Canadians can learn for generations to come.

The March 26 AGM was pretty exciting. We elected 3 new Trustees!!
The 2023 / 2024 Board is as follows:
The move from Railway Avenue to the MAAC-2 on Broad Street is in progress. The Board table had been relocated and was back in one-piece for the first meeting. Notice the new display case* in the second photo? It is just waiting to be filled with an exhibit!
* These display cases were purchased from the Opal Margot bequest.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT…
If you live in the Cut Knife area, check your mailboxes. Lucille helped us out by putting together Volume 1 of the Cut Knife Museum’s first Annual Newsletter. We sure miss the Cut Knife Courier, but an annual mailout is one way we can update the community on the CMMM’s activities.

The Museum’s Annual General Meeting gives the Board an opportunity to share the past year’s activities with the community. Most of CMMM’s supporters are residents, or former residents of the Cut Knife area. The museum wouldn’t have been established 52 years ago, and wouldn’t still be here today, without the care and commitment of this community, past and present.
On Sunday, March 26 at 3pm the Museum Board will meet in the Cut Knife Community Centre. Come listen in to a review of the museum’s activities from April 2022 to the present. Maybe, you’ll be inspired to join us as a volunteer. There are so many committees to choose from: exhibits and displays, research, buildings maintenance, event planning, fundraising, community outreach…
