Message and Guiding Principles
This is the story of Canada, the stories of our country, what it is, and how it got that way. It’s a story of conflict, struggle, and loss; success, accomplishment, and hope. It’s all around us, and about us, and we shape its future.

Community Memories Program
SLIDE 22 October 2012 - Ministerial Announcement: “The creation of a pan-Canadian network of history museums will provide greater access to our heritage and our shared history, allowing Canadians from coast to coast to coast to benefit from the exquisite collections safeguarded by museums across the
- country. Partnership agreements will allow artifacts and
collections, which might otherwise be stored in the museums vaults, to circulate between partnering institutions.”
