  • 2016 Annual Report
    Goulbourn Museum Annual Report 16 www.goulbournmuseum.ca Sharing the Story of Ottawa’s Oldest Military Settlement FROM THE CURATOR MANAGER 2016 was a successful year for the Goulbourn Museum. The Old-Fashioned Christmas & Outdoor Artisan Market saw a 21% increase in attendance, a new point-of-sale system was installed; a significant sponsorship was secured; and the gift shop was revived with new product. We also launched Healing Hands — Medicine During the World Wars and Food Will Win the War, for which we received funding from the Government of Canada’s World War Commemorations Community Fund. Museum staff undertook several training opportunities in 2016. Full time staff completed a two-day certification seminar in First Aid, CPR and defibrillator training, while part time staff completed one-day training. To ensure an understanding of the law and safe-handling practices, staff took the Canadian Firearms Safety Course onsite. This training was also made available to other museum professionals in the Ottawa Museum Network resulting in a small workshop in the Museum. I was honoured to receive the Ontario Museum Association’s (OMA) 2016 Promising Leadership Award of Excellence and attended my first OMA conference as an employee of the Museum. I enjoyed the presentations and discussions with colleagues from across the Province. We received an incredible amount of support from 72 volunteers who collectively put in 1,108 hours of their time to assist with many areas of museum work, including governance and planning efforts, artefact cataloguing, digitization projects, fundraising, programs and events. The Museum’s achievements are a direct result of your hard work and dedication.

A real estate boom ensued, with the area bordering the beautifully landscaped Central Park at Patterson Creek becoming one of the most desirable properties in town.

    Chair Diane Deans Opening Remarks / Verbal Update Transit Commission Meeting Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 9:30 a.m. Good morning everyone, bonjour à tous. I would like to take this opportunity to update you on a few items since our last meeting: Canada Day This year for the first time OC Transpo will be offering Free service during the day and after the fireworks on Canada Day. In past years OC Transpo offered free service after 10 p.m. This year it will be 3 a.m. to 3 a.m. on July 2nd. OC Transpo’s plan to offer complimentary bus service on July 1st will result in many residents who don’t normally take public transit enjoying a ride to their special Canada Day event. The cost of providing this free service is estimated to be $180,000. This money will come from OC Transpo’s marketing budget. It is an excellent opportunity to promote public transit to non- traditional riders. OC Transpo will be operating a special holiday schedule July 1st It’s effectively an augmented Sunday service. More trips will be added at peak periods and additional late night service to local routes will also be increased. Residents are encouraged to Call 613 560-1000 or text 560 560 plus your four- digit bus stop number for automated schedule information.
