2014 Annual Report Goulbourn Museum Annual Report 14 www.goulbournmuseum.ca Sharing the Story of Ottawa’s Oldest Military Settlement FROM THE CURATOR MANAGER The Goulbourn Museum plays an instrumental role in preserving and sharing our commu- nity’s vibrant history. In 2014 we marked two significant anniversaries: the centennial of World War I and the 75th anniversary of World War II. Of course, these events changed the world, but the exhibition Homegrown Heroes highlights our local contribution. In conjunc- tion with the exhibition launch we planted an ivory silk memorial tree, kindly donated by the Fallowfield Tree Farm. We welcome you to add a name in memory of a loved one on your next visit. Thanks to our commendable team and our notable programs and exhibitions we saw a 23% increase in onsite visitation and a 16% increase in total participation. Additionally, the Museum was nominated for two awards in the West Ottawa Board of Trade’s People’s Choice Business Awards. Our fundraising expectations were exceeded by 43% and we received nearly 560 artefact donations. The third volume of Voices from Goulbourn’s Past, by Chairperson Linda Preston and her sister Cheryl McCoy, was released at Stittsville’s Arts in the Park event in May and quickly became a best seller. We were fortunate to partner with many new organizations in 2014. We worked with the Stittsville International Women’s Day Committee and Distinctive Women magazine to celebrate International Women’s Day. Together, we marked the occasion on Rogers Television and gave a historical presentation to students in Stittsville’s St. Stephen Catholic School. Other partnership activities included an art exhibition featuring work from students in Elemenopaint’s art classes and a unique boot-camp style obstacle course offered by the Canadian Armed Forces. Seven community organizations have partnered together to form the 2018 Unified Committee which will plan for the bicentennial of the settlement of Richmond. We’ll be working closely with the Richmond Village Association, Richmond Legion, Richmond Lions Club, Kiwanis Club of Goulbourn, Richmond Agricultural Society and the Goulbourn Township Historical Society over the coming years for this project. Additionally, the Museum has been a proud member of the Ontario By Bike Network since the spring of 2014. As part of this program, we now have picnic tables under the trees as well as a water cooler, bike rack and bicycle repair kit on site. Please stop in for a rest and a visit next time you’re cycling by. We welcomed Bram Blenk, Ken Cownley and Murial Gingras to the Board of Directors at our Annual General Meeting and hired Stephanie Miles on contract through the Pilot Program for the Youth Training Initiatives in Culture grant. Over 61 volunteers put in 1,736 hours of their time to assist with programs, events, fundraising, digitization projects, artefact cataloguing, governance and planning efforts. We couldn’t have done it without you.

The group included dignitaries and women from Indonesia, Korea, Japan and Nigeria. In addition to this new tour of Richmond, the Museum has also developed an interpretive walking tour of Stittsville. Both are available to the public and can be booked by calling or emailing the Museum. I REMEMBER WHEN... PRESENTATIONS SPARK MEMORIES Due to an increase in demand, the Museum gave 166% more older adult presentations and programs in 2014. Dressed in period costume, Museum staff give a brief presentation about Goulbourn’s history followed by a hands-on presentation of some local artefacts. Participants enjoy sharing their personal stories from childhood and our staff often come away with fresh insight into how the artefacts were actually used. 4 EXHIBITS, COLLECTIONS AND RESEARCH PRESERVING OUR PAST WHAT’S NEW GOULBOURN MUSEUM EXHIBITIONS The Museum launched Homegrown Heroes which tells of life beyond the trenches in Goulbourn Township during WWI & WWII.

  • 2015 Annual Report
    Goulbourn Museum Annual Report 15 www.goulbournmuseum.ca Sharing the Story of Ottawa’s Oldest Military Settlement FROM THE CURATOR MANAGER In 2015, Goulbourn Museum strived to create a sense of belonging and pride in our community’s past and present. Our milestones were designed to do just that: we celebrated 25 years in the community, held our largest event to date and received funding for a special project. To celebrate our anniversary, we featured several relevant artefacts on our Instagram page as well as in our newsletters, we threw an old-fashioned birthday bash on Father’s Day, and we launched a new exhibition about the history behind our local street names. Attendance at the annual Old Fashioned Christmas & Outdoor Artisan Market was astounding. The event attracted nearly 650 visitors, 15 artisan vendors and even Santa himself. That equates to 52% more visitors than the 2014 event, and 82% more than in 2013. We were also thrilled to have received funding through the Government of Canada’s World War Commemorations Community Fund and begin the process of developing exhibitions and programming related to medicine during the World Wars. Our Board of Directors is committed to ensuring the Museum maintains its stable leadership while continuing to grow. A new Governance Committee was formed and has been reviewing and updating our policies on a regular basis. The Committee is also looking at our Emergency Preparedness Plan and other governance-related documents. The Board continues to be supported by the Executive Committee and the Nominating Committee. Long-term plans include addressing the Museum’s site needs and space requirements.

  • Ottawa-Carleton District School Board 2018 District Needs Analysis
    Appendix A to Report No. 18-002 1 0f 7 Ottawa-Carleton District School Board 2018 District Needs Analysis Executive Summary The District Needs Analysis (DNA) provides a current and future snapshot of the District’s facilities inventory (from a District and individual community perspective) by examining the following factors: growth pressures; trends in enrolment; gaps in program accessibility; new program initiatives; facility condition; and suitability as teaching and learning space. For the purposes of the DNA schools have been organized and placed into larger geographic review areas. Each of the review area sections contains a title page, a map, a narrative summary by individual school, an enrolment and capacity chart and graph, and a Summary of Issues page. The Summary of Issues page provides a review area overview of some of the variables used as part of the planning exercise. The page includes five measurable indicators: Building Condition, Program Viability, Low Enrolment, Low Utilization Rates, and High Utilization Rates. The DNA also includes a list of planned growth needs; those previously approved by Board and submitted to the Ministry, and those newly identified within the 2018 DNA. These are found at the end of each of the review area sections. Although the DNA provides information which informs a variety of planning functions, its main purpose is to support decision-making around the 2018 capital priorities-setting process. The Ministry capital priorities process operates around a scoped three-year window of need. Each submission call requests that Boards submit their list of capital needs which have planned opening dates of no further than three years into the future – for the 2018 call this would be no later than 2021.
