And that would make Leora Berman a very happy woman. Since she came to Haliburton 10 years ago, it has been her dream to see it happen. The goal is to bring parents and their children closer together, while also connecting them with the senior population. The Haliburton Children’s Museum would be located in the Old Victoria Street School, now owned by Community Living Haliburton County. “It’s just a perfect spot,” said Berman, who is a grant writer for Community Living as well as liaison for the project. Berman points out it would tie into the organization’s mandate, part of which is to integrate people with disabilities in the community. She completed a needs assessment and obtained close to $30,000 from the Ontario Trillium Foundation for a feasibility study. “We want to bolster and complement what’s available,” she said, listing organizations such as the Trillium Lakelands District School Board, Haliburton Highlands Museum and the Ontario Early Years Centre.
