Minutes of the Committee of Whole Council Meeting held June 19, 2018 17 July 2018 Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin D1 Dear Mayor and Council, Thank you for allowing us to meet with you on July 17th. We appreciate this opportunity to continuously work towards a sustainable and positive relationship with the municipal government for the betterment of the heritage sector in Williams Lake and the Cariboo-Chilcotin more broadly. In many ways, the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin reflects the image of Williams Lake through space and time, educating our visitors in an informal setting about the many experiences that have shaped this community. The museum fosters a sense of pride and awareness that are vital and necessary for civic-mindedness in the twenty-first century. Over the past year our museum has been working to adjust to our new space in the Tourism Discovery Centre (TDC). It has been a great opportunity to showcase the community’s history to locals and tourists alike. Local businesses and other arts and culture organizations have been extremely supportive of our transition. We have also been met with overwhelmingly positive feedback on both our new exhibitions and our educational programming since December and I am looking forward to continuing that trend. This process has however not been without its challenges, some of which we noted in our previous letter to council in the spring. While we are enjoying more visitors on average than we did at our old site, this has unfortunately not translated into more revenue. We have regrettably seen a noticeable drop in revenue from the loss of admissions and the gift shop, the values of which are noted in that previous letter.
