Several partnerships have been expanded upon and member participation has increased. We have been busy advocating the best interests of museums and had another successful Canadian Museums Day on Parliament Hill, we continued delivering thriving programs such as Young Canada Works in more than 750 museums, we improved the bursary program to better serve museum professionals, volunteers and students, we revised our national Awards Program, and so much more. Nancy Noble One of the areas we focused on in 2014 was the Association’s own future. The Board, staff and volunteers have been immersed in developing a new Strategic Plan for the CMA. We undertook member surveys, focus groups and extensive consultations to find out your priorities. As a result, a new three-year plan, 2015 to 2018, will be unveiled at the National Conference in Banff in mid-April, 2015. The upcoming celebrations for the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation feature prominently in our activities. John G. McAvity We expect significant opportunities for museums at the local level as well as for pan-Canadian programs. We are also mindful that this important anniversary offers an opportunity to go beyond 2017 and we are searching for legacy projects that will help support the community long after the celebrations are over in 2017.

CMA – Annual Report 2014 9 Communications The national office staff collaborated to develop and unveil a new website on August 28. The new CMA website has a thoroughly improved interface and a reliable online portal for membership administration. The website vastly enhanced the CMA’s online presence by fostering interactivity through integrated social media widgets and easily accessible information. The majority of the content from the old site has been transferred to the new website. We continued to regularly produce and distribute communiqués, electronic newsletters and Muse magazine to inform our members in a timely manner regarding matters that impact them directly. Our electronic newsletters are by design issued bi-weekly, however special Conference issues were sent every other week in the two months leading up to the 2014 National Conference in Toronto, Ont. Thank You for Following our Activities on Social Media! This year, the CMA ramped up efforts to engage members and the general public on social media. In addition to frequently communicating the Association’s activities and services, the CMA also cross-promoted and supported provincial museum associations and other partners. The CMA blog continued to feature regular postings by a variety of contributors. Facebook and Twitter audiences have grown tremendously in 2014. Notably, the CMA Twitter account (@musecdn) almost doubled its number of followers (1,958) by the end of the year. The CMA Facebook account reached a 1,000 likes during the summer. The unique #CMAMC2014 hashtag provided a rallying point for public online conversations before and during the National Conference in Toronto, Ont. Daily News Clipping Service Members received daily news clippings throughout 2014 thanks to CMA’s partnership with MultiView Inc. Each issue of the news clippings contains popular and trending news items. This service remains wildly popular and the CMA regularly receives subscription requests from new members. Special Museological Studies CMA is increasing its research and publication capacity. Each year we publish special reports based on studies we undertake. For example in 2014 we undertook a study on municipal property taxes and implications to museums, Challenges and Opportunities for Travelling Programs, and Building a Heritage for Canada’s Museum Sector. 10 CMA – Annual Report 2014 Muse Magazine — More than 2000 Readers!

Executive Summary Delivering the Mandate across Ontario The current position of the Trust builds upon several years of thoughtful examination of the agency’s legislated mandate, how and for whom it is delivered, and why it matters to Ontarians. In 2012 the Trust completed an extensive sustainability review, with a focus on core mandate and an analysis of all revenue and expenditures, as a measure to streamlining expenditures and diversifying the revenue base. The result for the agency was a balanced budget in 2016 and for subsequent years. In 2015 MTCS completed a Mandate Review that confirmed the Trust as a valuable resource in heritage matters, with strong professional and technical knowledge, that is recognized as a centre of specialized expertise in heritage that is not offered elsewhere in the provincial government. Both the Trust and MTCS concluded reviews of the operating model for the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres and the Trust’s plan for the ongoing operation of the EWG was affirmed by the Ministry in 2018.

  • The Ontario Culture Strategy Telling Our Stories, Growing Our Economy
    The Ontario Culture Strategy Telling our stories, growing our economy Culture is everyday good living, a way of life, shared histories, values, beliefs, vitality, beauty, pride, play, sport, recreation, leisure, fashion, cultural industries, entertainment, live music, photography, publishing, architecture, civic spaces, art, design, interactive digital media, watching television, movies, learning, trying new things, language, books and magazines, crafts, humour, amateur and professional theatre, dance, opera, pow wows, maple syrup festivals, agricultural festivals, farmers’ markets, cultural institutions, museums, archives, historical societies, built heritage and cultural heritage landscapes, fishing, hunting and trapping, social interaction, social cohesion, citizen engagement, sustainability, the products of artists and entrepreneurs. Culture is tangible and intangible. Culture means good mental health, good relationships and enlarged spirits. Culture provides joy. Libraries are sanctuaries for many people. Food defines who we are and where we are from. Music is an essential part of human experience. Archaeology is very important to complement or fill gaps in the written record. Culture is the sharing of creative knowledge, skills and talents. It is volunteering, donating and working selflessly to build strong communities. Culture is bold. It is creativity and imagination. It is reflection and creative thinking. It is knowledge and understanding. It is innovation and technology. It is provocation and exploration of new ideas. Art must be democratic but must also go beyond consensus to be edgy and challenge us. Culture is an expression of our identity and history. It is an explanation and exploration of who we are. It is how we enjoy ourselves. It helps us understand where we live and presents Ontario to the rest of the world.

  • In Partial Fulfillnent of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History
    BUSINESS, ART AND LABOUR: BRIGDEN'S AND THE GROWTH OF THE CANADIAN GRAPHIC ARTS INDUSTRY 1870_1950 By Angela E. Davis A Thesis presented to the University of Manitoba in partial fulfillnent of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of PhiLosophy in History The University of Manitoba t{innipeg, Manitoba September 1986 ABSTRACT The thesis presented in this dissertation concerns the inter-reLationship between business, art and labour in Canada during the years 1870 to 1950. It will suggest that the foundations of "Canadian Art" and a Canadian popular culture rest not only within the European traditions of "fine" art, but also in the work of those artists who practiced in the commercial environment of engraving, or graphic arts, houses. Indeed most artists, for the period under discussion, worked as both "commercial" and "fine" artists. In order to substantiate this argument, a history of the development of the Canadian graphic arts industry will be traced, using the firm of Brigden's Limited as a case study. Graphic arts firns such as Brigden's demonstrate the unique aspects of an industry which included among its workforce artÍsts as wel.l as skilled technicians. Not only did thjs reguire a management capable of recognizing artistic creativity and practical knowledge, but it al.so necessitated an organization capable of adapting to econonic, social and technoj.ogical change. It was from out of this structure that the product of the industry, the reproduced visual image, made its considerabLe contribution to the development of a Canadian
