Executive Director’s Report

An ambitious program for a year of festivities Celebration was the theme of the 2011–2012 financial year. The 50th anniversary of Exporail’s founding and the 175th anniversary of Canada’s first railway were milestone events for our organization, and the popularity of the festivities was one of the reasons behind an increase in attendance at Exporail. Exporail welcomed 69,090 guests during the year, including 47,326 visitors and 21,764 users of the multipurpose rooms. This represents an 8% increase in attendance over the previous year. Road work and a temporary closing of the Mercier Bridge discouraged larger outings, but we nonetheless received visits by 116 groups of young people and 47 adult parties. Inauguration of a new permanent exhibition To mark the 50th anniversary of its founding, Exporail inaugurated a permanent exhibition, in the completely renovated Hays Station, entitled From Everywhere to You! This exhibition journeys into the mysterious world of switching yards and railway traffic control centres, through 151 archive documents and 34 artefacts from the collection. It also includes material from the first modern interlocking signal box, which was designed in Canada and installed at CN’s Wellington Tower in Montréal. The building was renovated for the exhibition, and a panoramic window overlooking the switching yard was added. Photograph : Lyne Lague

A pedagogical Internet tool, whose content meets the requirements of Canadian provincial education programs, was also developed for teachers. This version of the exhibition is available online at histoiredurailhistory.ca or from a link on our website. The main themes explored are immigration, travelling schools, Confederation, bridges and tunnels, important historical figures, and major railway companies in Canadian history. During the festivities held from July 21 to 24, more than 4,000 people gathered to commemorate the 175th anniversary of Canada’s first railway, which coincided with the official date of the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Canadian Railway Museum. A variety of activities were organized to highlight the important heritage Other work for this project included paving the footpath, designing and installing three theme islands about railway trades and their benefits to the community, improving the open storage area in Building No. 5, restoring some of the collection’s rolling stock, and landscaping the station gardens with the assistance of the Centre de formation professionnelle des Moissons. These investments, valued at more than $1.1 million, were made possible by the generous financial support of donors and partners, especially the Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition feminine du Québec, the North American Railway Foundation, the Estate of Frederick Forbes Angus, the Centre local de développement (CLD) de Roussillon, and the Conférence régionale des élus (CRÉ) Vallée-du-Haut-Saint-Laurent.

In response to the growing number of families who visit Exporail, we have added several family activities to our programming. One of these is Special Delivery, which offers participants an opportunity to prepare and send a postcard from Exporail. During the Royal Visit theme day, children were encouraged to construct a royal crown or medal, which they could wear proudly during their visit. During the 175th anniversary festivities, children had fun playing with small wooden trains provided by Pierre Belvédère.

Of the many hours volunteered, 3,152 were spent on Component B of the permanent exhibition project and 1,440 on organizing commemorative festivities marking the 175th anniversary of Canada’s first railway. We would also like to mention the work of several volunteers in reorganizing the space reserved for our collection of CN drawings and technical manuals. Effective partnerships Nine projects were produced by Exporail in partnership with 12 organizations, and these projects drew a total of 7,400 visitors. The partnerships were in a variety of areas, Photograph : Ken Goslett including: • Joint programming with the Association des auteurs de la Montérégie (for Bienvenue à bord de l’imaginaire), with the Agence métropolitaine de transport (for the Museum Express train excursion), and with Canadian Pacific, CN, VIA Rail Canada, the Agence métropolitaine de transport and the Railway Association of Canada (for the commemoration of the 175th anniversary of Canada’s first railway); • Community involvement with the Historical Train of Ukrainian Pioneers (an event at the Ukrainian Embassy to Canada) and Héma-Québec (annual Exporail blood drive); • Broadcast programming with CBC Television (an episode of The Canadian Story about C.M. Hays, a passenger on the Titanic), and Canadian Geographic and the Railway Association of Canada (The Canadian Atlas Online); • Extramural presentations with CN (CN Family Day) and the Association of Railway Museums (2012 convention). In addition, management, employees and volunteers were actively involved as directors or supporters of eight regional tourist and cultural organizations. Sustained funding efforts Despite efforts to significantly increase self- generated revenues from activities, these have remained stable. However, our efforts

Vol. 11 Number 2 January 2013 Newsletter 6 to solicit donations for the CRHA Foundation have yielded results. Two fundraising activities were held: a draw for a train trip from Montréal to Vancouver, generously supported by VIA Rail Canada; and screenings of the IMAX film The Rocky Mountain Express, with the collaboration of the Company. The fundraising campaign of the Canadian Railroad Historical Association Foundation brought in $162,001 from contributors, and this amount was matched by Placements Culture. The money was used to create a $324,000 endowment fund in the name of the Museum at the Foundation of Greater Montreal. To date, 186 donations have been received, including three major ones from Canadian Pacific, the Molson Foundation and Caisse Desjardins des Berges de Roussillon.

Exporail also received financial assistance from several other sources: • Significant funding from the Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition féminine; • Operating assistance from Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec; • Grants from Emploi-Québec Montérégie, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, the City of Saint-Constant, the City of Delson and MRC de Roussillon. We also received financial assistance from Canadian Heritage for the celebrations held on July 21 to 24, 2011, in commemoration of the 175th anniversary of Canada’s first railway, and a grant for the recent implementation of a new collections management system. Finally, it should be mentioned that the Board of Directors had to deal with a $65,000 reduction in the operating assistance that has been provided by the Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition féminine since the Angus Pavilion opened. Over the last five years, many efforts have been made to reduce expenses, increase self-generated revenues and seek out private funding. Acknowledgments Our organization is able to carry out all these projects and activities through the commitment of its management, employees and volunteers, and with the support of its members, donors and partners. Their dedication and efforts help ensure the high quality and reputation of Exporail as a museum. We especially wish to acknowledge our primary operating partner, the Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition féminine. We also extend appreciation to Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, Emploi-Québec Montérégie, the Department of Canadian Heritage, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, the City of Saint-Constant, the City of Delson, CLD de Roussillon, CRÉ Vallée-du-Haut-Saint-Laurent, MRC de Roussillon, the Estate of Frederick Forbes Angus, the North American Railway Foundation, the Molson Foundation, CN, Canadian Pacific, Bombardier, VIA Rail Canada, Agence métropolitaine de transport, Caisse Desjardins des Berges de Roussillon, Conseil intermunicipal de transport de Roussillon, and Société de transport de Montréal.
