Goodbye? Hello! to Elizabeth

Elizabeth Grayson leaning on a display table in the Secrets of Radar Museum, August, 2022. Used with permission.

Sometimes a summer job contract or university intern really clicks with us and our mission and over the years we’ve had several employment contract staff and interns return to us or stay on as volunteers, sometimes for several years.

We are delighted to announce that following the conclusion of her summer Young Canada Works contract, during the Annual General Meeting, Elizabeth Grayson stood for election to the Board of Directors. She was unopposed and the membership unanimously accepted her election. She has taken on the job of handling memberships, among other things, and we couldn’t be happier.

During her three-month summer contract, Elizabeth worked diligently to catalogue, cull, and house several archival collections, attended museum network events, and developed her own interpretive approach to our exhibit material to provide excellent tours. Elizabeth is in the process of completing a Bachelors in Museum Studies at Western University and is brimming with ideas and enthusiasm. Welcome aboard, Elizabeth. We hope you enjoy your term on the Board!

Secrets & Mysteries Summer Day Camp!

We're thrilled to announce that we'll be running Summer Day Camp in August, 2014!

Our camp has been developed to focus on science and nature, and highlighting the creative and experimental exploration of the world around us.  It is this same spirit of experimentation in early radio and television that led to the invention of radar prior to WWII, and which continued through the 20th century to become part of our daily lives.

We have two week-long sessions for your inquisitive kids, aged 10-14: August 4-8, and August 11-15, from 8:30AM to 4:30PM.
