We are delighted to announce that we received funding through the Young Canada Works in Heritage program to hire a summer student! YCW is an excellent program that allows museums with small budgets to expand their capacity and get important work done. Our student will work with our collection and archives, learn to give awesome tours, and will participate in the day-to-day running of a small museum. Having a student means a return to our summer hours, opening 5 days a week! Our new student joins us for 13 weeks, beginning May 31 and we can’t wait!
Welcome to the team, Elizabeth!
