CMA – Annual Report 2009 A Year in Review 3

was mostly a year of financial uncertainty for the

museum community. The global financial crisis 2009 affected museums and the CMA as well.

Canada was fortunate not to be too adversely affected and the steps taken to stimulate the economy benefited many museums and galleries largely in the area of greater infrastructure spending. Generally, museum attendance held its own, largely due to increases from local or regional visitors. However, international tourism saw a decrease, especially from the United States. Donations were also seriously affected.

Jon Tupper Museums had been encouraged by governments to build endowments, but these now produce very small incomes due to current low interest rates. As a result the CMA has proposed several innovative programs to help encourage donations to museums operations and benefit tax and employment strategies.

As governments start to deal with these new deficits, it is clear we are in a new era and cuts to programs will begin in late 2010.

The CMA intends to play a very strong role in the process of providing advice to the government and to the museum community on new directions to take. The CMA will also vigorously defend the legitimate role of museums as valued public services for the benefit of all.

John G. McAvity Your membership involvement and the need for a strong independent national voice, working closely with all partners including from different sectors, will be more critical than ever.

These challenges may be an opportunity for us to move in significant new directions and to gain greater control over the role and potential of our important institutions, both large and small.

The Barbara Tyler Award in Museum Leadership recognizes 5 the exceptional contribution of the late Barbara A. Tyler to the Canadian museum community. Created at her request, supported by her personal generosity and supplemented by generous donations from many friends and admirers, this award will celebrate — in her own words — “the best leadership in museum 7 management in Canada.”

The Museum Volunteer Award recognizes individuals or groups who generously volunteer their time and commitment to a museum or related heritage institution for several years. This 6 award is co-sponsored by the CMA and the Canadian Federation of Friends of Museums.

The CMA staff has grown significantly largely due to our administration of the Young Canada Works program and now includes a total of 22 staff, as well as several others on contract for specific services. Due to growth of the association, the main office located in Ottawa is literally bursting at the seams and additional office space may soon be required.

CMA staff also attended many of the provincial museum conferences held by our partner organizations in 2009 as well as other meetings and professional development opportunities.
