How much curating can a person do in one room?

Or am I missing something?

For this to be done properly you need an entire building, which is what there used to be before the hijacking.

The inventory has been done. The collection needs lots of work. Sorting and repairs. Yes we need the  building that was designed  and built for the purpose. 

How much of an audience can a Sylvia Tyson concert accommodate in a single classroom. 

How ridiculous is that? 

Or is it intended for an exclusive gathering?

Historical themes will be chosen and displays will be changed .

There will always be something fresh to visit.

People have artifacts waiting to be donated. The connection between the community and  town heritage will be restored.

Maybe we will teach children the nation's history in the museum. Make the Charter of Rights and Freedoms come to life.

The town and the community  is changing. History is ongoing and  needs to be recorded. Culture needs to be established.

Groundwork  is needed for the story to unfold.

Volunteers need opportunity and many skills for best results.

A museum is a labour of love; love for the past ,present and future .Love of community and what makes it real.

You can't buy it. You have to live it .. value it....experience  it....and create the record .....piece by piece.

How much time there is before Aurora vanishes into amalgamation is not known.

Logic would dictate if we keep going as we have in the last decade,it may be sooner rather than later.

What we do in Church Street School matters. It should not cost more than is currently being spent.
