2013 Annual Report Goulbourn Museum Annual Report 13 www.goulbournmuseum.ca Sharing the Story of Ottawa’s Oldest Military Settlement FROM THE CURATOR-MANAGER Although I have been working with the Goulbourn Museum for a number of years, 2013 marked the first full year in my current capacity. What a remarkable year it was. I am proud to say that thanks to our dedicated team, updated exhibitions and outstanding program and event lineup, we saw a 22% increase in onsite visitation and a 38% increase in program participation. We have been overwhelmed by your support – your significant attendance, artefact donations and financial contributions – and your engagement with us across various social media platforms. We met many noteworthy milestones in 2013. Thanks to Member support at our Annual General Meeting, we earned our Certificate of Continuance from Industry Canada to comply with new regulations. We received funding and recognition from the Federal government's 1812 Commemoration Fund to produce the exhibition 1812 and the 100th as well as the publication Goulbourn's Top 12 of 1812. Our inaugural Old Fashioned Christ- mas: Art and Craft Sale featured a variety of local artisans and drew over 400 visitors to our site. Because we believe everyone belongs at the Goulbourn Museum, we revised our opening hours to better meet your needs. Effective February 2013, we are open Wednes- day through Sunday from 1-4 p.m. and admission remains free of charge. Due to your generosity, we received nearly 130 artefact donations in 2013. That number includes an incredible 27 boxes containing over 40,000 artefacts from an archeological dig in Richmond. It also includes Colonel Burke's Military General Service Medal with a Châteauguay clasp, and the Clarence Evelyn Rielly military collection. We were thrilled to work with the community and fundraise to bring the Rielly collection to the Museum. Your contributions allowed us not only to purchase the collection in an online auction, but to properly care for the artefacts. We were fortunate to partner with several schools in 2013. Stephanie Miles from the Ap- plied Museum Studies program at Algonquin College completed her internship here; Ka- trina Mulholland from South Carleton High School completed her co-op placement with us; and, Emily Martorana from Sacred Heart High School won our design contest for high school students. Our team has strengthened through many changes over the past year. We welcomed Frank Argue and Glendon Moore to the Board of Directors, and hired Sarah Holla as a part time Curatorial Assistant. Three long serving Directors – Hilda Moore, Virginia Notley and Sheila Cain-Sample – retired from our Board as their terms were expiring and Kurt Johnson resigned from his position. Over 40 volunteers put in an incredible 3,143 hours of their time to assist with programs, events, fundraising, digitization projects, artefact cata- loguing, governance and planning efforts. I look forward to building on this momentum in the coming year.

The week long camp included a behind-the-scenes tour of the Museum’s arte- fact collection and visits from special guests. “Camp Curator was by far the best camp experience Jayden has ever had,” says Stitts- ville parent Corrine Easy. “She was absolutely thrilled with her exhibit, new archeological dig training and the prestige that came with wearing a lab coat each day.” WEARING MANY HATS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S CLUB OF OTTAWA To celebrate Thanksgiving, the Museum was invited by the International Women’s Club of Ottawa to speak about the origins of the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday. Dressed in our finest skirts and hats from 1910, we invited the group of dignitaries, ambassador’s wives and international women to try on a period costume themselves while we presented a history of hats with examples from the Museum’s artefact collection. 4 EXHIBITS, COLLECTIONS AND RESEARCH PRESERVING OUR PAST WHAT’S NEW GOULBOURN MUSEUM EXHIBITIONS Goulbourn Museum launched the bilingual 1812 & the 100th exhibition and, in conjunction, published Goulbourn’s Top 12 of 1812. The Museum also offered fresh exhibits in its Community Cabinet featuring the Ottawa-based cloth doll club All Dolled Up, and Calligraphy Society of Ottawa, as well as a display on the history of Halloween, and a junior curator exhibit.

  • 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.

  • Summary Document Opinions on a New Downtown Central Library Submitted by Nanos Research to Ottawa Public Library, December 2015 1.0 Who Shared Their Views
    Summary Document Opinions on a new downtown Central Library submitted by Nanos Research to Ottawa Public Library, December 2015 1.0 Who shared their views Nanos Research, on behalf of the Ottawa Public Library, conducted a multi-phase research initiative as part of a planning process for a future downtown Central Library. 131 Main Branch customers shared their views on site with Nanos 94 Library users and Ottawa residents took time from their busy schedules to share their views in a 90 minute focus group discussion on a future downtown Central Library 557 Library card holders shared their thoughts on a new downtown Central Library 700 Residents of Ottawa including 200 in the catchment area of the Main Branch told Nanos what was important in shaping the future of the Central Library. 2 2.0 At a glance If one were to attempt to sum up the views from library card holders and residents it would look like this: Ottawa’s new Central Library needs to have great access to public transit, be bright with natural and good lighting inside and have great lines of sight to make one feel comfortable and safe. A showcase and symbol for our City and the Nation’s Capital, it should be a place that not only encourages reading and thought, but which attracts young and old, and a diversity of residents that make up our City. 3 3.0 Methodology • Intercept – Nanos conducted an intercept survey at the Ottawa Public Library’s Main Branch on September 27 and 28, 2015 to engage with library customers on library services in Ottawa’s downtown as part of the planning process for a Central Library.

  • OTTAWA ART GALLERY 2017 ANNUAL REPORT Photo: Adrien Williams Adrien Photo
    OTTAWA ART GALLERY 2017 ANNUAL REPORT Photo: Adrien Williams Adrien Photo: CHAIR AND DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE Like the rest of Ottawa, we celebrated Canada’s 150 years of nationhood throughout 2017. Having closed our public spaces within our former home at Arts Court early in the year, we then programmed a series of exhibitions, happenings and events under the OAG Out There campaign. This includ- ed partnerships with the 2017 Juno Awards and the Canadian Academy for Recording Arts and Sciences, as well as the British High Commission and the Embassy of France on exhibitions held at our satellite space in Ottawa City Hall. We also engaged in compelling, socially-engaged collaborations with Tangled Arts + Disability and the Ottawa Public Library. The OAG worked throughout the year with the City of Ottawa on realizing the completion of our new, purpose-built home, which culminated in achieving substantial completion on the building. In anticipation of our April 2018 inaugural opening and exhibition, the OAG ended the year with the launch of its 300 page publication celebrating regional art production stretching back 6500 years, entitled Adisokamagan/ Nous connaître un peu nous-mêmes/We’ll all become stories, as well as revealing Barbour David Photo: the first of nine commissioned artworks for the inaugural exhibition; Ascension by The Latest Artists and Of Buffalo, Bears and Indian Scouts by Bear Witness (Installation image at right). As always the OAG must acknowledge the support of our members, donors, partners and our major funders: the City of Ottawa, Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts.
