MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

2

2018 was a year of transition for the CMA! After 37 years of service, CEO and

Executive Director John McAvity announced his retirement. This led to an exhaustive nine-month executive search to find his replacement, one that responds to the needs of the CMA membership and staff, offering a new vision to continue the advancement of Canadian Museums, ensure meaningful connections and provide the necessary leadership that will increase the value of museums to Canadian society.

The CMA secretariat, throughout the transition, has continued to work on your behalf, ensuring and maintaining a high level of service and support to members and the museum community at large. I would be remiss if I did not take this opportunity thank my fellow Board members for their ongoing support and the leadership of Chief Operating Officer, Sue Lamothe supported by senior staff, Sue-Ann Ramsden, Director, Museum Enterprises and Carlos Castro, Marketing Director.

Despite the change in leadership, 2018 was a very productive year for the CMA. Of significance was the CMA’s presentation to the Standing Committee on Canadian

3CMA2018 — ANNUALREPORT

Heritage, one that contributed to their report, Moving Forward — Towards A Stronger Canadian Museum Sector. It is our belief that this report will renew government support for the museum sector and correct any existing imbalances.

In closing, and on behalf of the CMA, I look forward to working with a new Executive Director this coming year.

Looking ahead, we have more to do! I am confident that under the leadership of our new Executive Director we are moving in the right direction.

Finally, I would like to thank you, our members for your continuous engagement and trust. Without you, our success today and tomorrow would not be possible.

Karen Bachmann President Canadian Museums Association

GOVERNANCE, ADVOCACY & COMMITTEE WORK

12

GovernanceThe CMA Board of Directors met 6 times in 2018 to govern the Associations affairs and policies. Four of these were In-person meetings and were held in Toronto, ON, Vancouver, BC, and in Ottawa, ON (2). In addition, several conference calls were held by the Board as well as the newly formed Transition Committee which was struck in 2018 to search for a new Executive Director to replace John G. McAvity who retired in 2018.

The members of the CMA Board of Directors for 2017-2018 have been:

l Karen Bachmann (President), Timmins, ONl Manon Blanchette (Past President), Montreal, QCl Jane Fullerton (Vice-President), Saint John, NBl Jack Lohman (Vice-President), Victoria, BCl Eric Chan, Ottawa, ONl Margaret Chrumka, Kamloops, BCl Sarah Pashagumskum, Oujé-Bougoumou, QCl Katy Tari, Montreal, QCl Michael Wallace, Toronto, ON

Nominations CommitteeSusan Burrows-Johnson chaired the Nominations Committee. The Nominations Committee reviewed the current Board members and their terms, determining that there were two vacancies on the Board for 2019.

This report consisted of an in-depth look at the museum sector in Canada considering funding, best practices, the involvement of diverse and underrepresented groups, museum size, concerns regarding collections management and more.

From this analysis, the Committee put forward 15 recommendations in four major themes: finance and revenues, human resources, collections and infrastructure and other challenges, which largely concerns matters of diversity in museum attendance and representation. These recommendations support an increase of museum funding, as well as the commissioning of several studies to investigate further best practices for Canadian museums.

The Federal Government has issued a response to the report stating that it “agrees that the time has come to revisit its policy towards museums, in order for it, and future decisions, to reflect the needs and challenges of what it means [sic] to be a museum in the 21st century.”

The Standing Committee on FinanceThe CMA presented pre-budget recommendations to the Standing Committee on Finance for the 2019 budget. The proposal included feedback received from a round table conducted with the Provincial Museum Associations as well as other key stakeholders.

The presentation was aired on CPAC in September with Director Emeritus, John McAvity and Museums Foundation of Canada Board Member, Robert Laidler, making the presentation to the committee. Recommendations included an increase of funding to promote museum self-sufficiency, improvements to buildings and infrastructure, digitization and indigenous reconciliation efforts.

Compliance and Risk Management CommitteeThe CMA’s compliance and risk management committee is responsible for monitoring CMA’s policies, identifying potential risks, and ensuring CMA’s compliance with various federal and provincial requirements. The compliance and risk management committee also fulfills the role of audit liaison. These responsibilities include participating in meetings with the auditor as required, to review the CMA audit and management letter, and to provide recommendations. The compliance and risk management committee fulfilled its duties in 2018.

Museums Foundation of Canada The Museums Foundation of Canada (MFC), established in 1994, supports the Barbara A. Tyler Award, the Dr. Shirley L. Thomson Young Curators Award, and the Fellows Lecture at the national conference among other projects.

AdvocacyThe CMA is the national advocate for sound policy development for our sector. We work closely with governmental representatives to ensure that the concerns and challenges facing Canadian museums are heard, understood and addressed.

The State of Canadian Museums ReportThis year led to a major resolution for the CMA and the museum sector at large. After two years of consultation with our organization and others, the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage released their long-awaited report on the state of Canadian museums entitled, Moving Forward – Towards A Stronger Canadian Museum Sector.

Young Canada Works In 2018, Young Canada Works (YCW) continued to offer career-launching experiences for young Canadians, aged 15 to 30. Both the summer jobs and internship programs benefited from additional funding for a total $8.85 million committed to the museum community.

Young Canada Works in Heritage Organizations (YCW-HO) supported summer and short-term work experiences for students, which allowed them to learn about Canada’s cultural heritage while earning money to continue their studies. The program supported over 1,600 positions at 800 museums and heritage organizations across Canada.

Furthermore, Young Canada Works at Building Careers in Heritage (YCW-BCH) funded 174 internships at 149 museums and heritage organizations allowing recent graduates to gain relevant skills for furthering their careers in the heritage field.

The CMA would like to thank the Government of Canada for its continued financial support of this important youth employment program.


CMA Member Insurance ProgramThe CMA Member Insurance Program continued to offer great and appropriate coverage for museums and museum professionals leveraging group buying power to obtain competitive rates.

We want to thank Caitlin XL for their years of partnership and welcome Marsh UK, who is taking over the provision of coverage relating to artworks and collections for the program.

We were also pleased to provide a webinar called, The Exposure of Flood, relating to flood protection and coverage in May of 2018 sponsored by Ecclesiastical, XL Caitlin and Marsh.

Iconic Images line, the CMA launched the Iconic Buildings products beginning with the development of a striking tote bag. Both lines are available to order in small quantities, allowing small institutions to purchase products that help increase profit margins. The CMA continues to source many types of products that museums may wish to consider in order to reflect their museum branding and highlight their collections.

Museum Retail Consortium ProgramThe CMA Retail Consortium Program saw increased participation and growth in 2018. The development and further expansion of products offered continue to provide institutions with the opportunity to expand their visibility within their community and to increase their revenues. Building on the successful

BursariesThe CMA Bursary Program, made possible thanks to the Department of Canadian Heritage, offers financial support to Canadian museum professionals, students and volunteers who wish to attend professional development activities. A total of 85 bursaries were distributed to museum professionals and volunteers from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018.

Collaborations with Open Palace ProgrammeThe Open Palace Programme has been developed by a group of significant heritage and education organizations in the UK committed to providing a first class, first-hand experience of palaces and treasures houses across the UK for international students and emergent professionals in the heritage field.

Serena Ypelaar has been chosen to receive this year’s bursary of £1000 for the Open Palace Programme of Summer 2019.

The Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Museums: History Alive!A partnership between CMA and Canada's History Society (CHS), the goal of the History Alive! award is to honour significant achievement in the historical field and encourage standards of excellence specifically in the presentation, preservation and interpretation of national, regional or local history.

The award recognizes Dr. Sarah Pashagumskum at Aanischaaukamikw Cree Cultural Institute with the Chisasibi Heritage and Cultural Centre for Footprints: A Walk Through Generations. A powerful example

of indigenous self curation and self determination, Footprints follows the evolution of walking and its relations to life, culture, arts and traditional technologies.
