Do you have an idea that relates to
the Huron County Museum or
Historic Gaol? Maybe you want to
find out more about what they have
to offer? If so, the Huron
County Museum wants to hear from
you.
The public is invited to an
informal strategic planning session
being held for the Huron County
Museum and Historic Gaol on Oct.
27 from 12 to 4 p.m. at the Blyth
Festival’s Bainton Gallery. During
this event, museum staff and
consultants will be on hand to listen
to feedback about heritage and
cultural projects as they related to
the Huron County Museum and
Historic Gaol. Free refreshments
and fun activities for children will be
set up throughout the afternoon
during this drop-in event.
“We would like to extend personal
invitations to each and every
individual in Huron County to come
and contribute their voice to this
important discussion about the
Museum and Gaol,” says Director of
Cultural Services Meighan Wark.
“Both facilities are important
heritage and cultural resources in
Huron County and tell uniquely
Huron County stories. We want to
make sure that we are doing this in
ways that are seen as valuable
to our community of Huron
County.”
This event is the latest in a series
of meetings and activities being held
in relation to the development of a
new strategic plan for the museum.
Throughout the summer and early
fall, staff and consultants have met
with various groups and
stakeholders to discuss such topics
as programming, exhibits and
service delivery models. Local
leaders from the tourism and
economic development sectors have
been participating in the process as
well.
It is anticipated that the final
report and strategic plan will be
available to the public in early
2013.
If you aren’t available to attend,
there is still the opportunity to
participate through an online survey
available at http://museum
townhall.wordpress.com/
The online survey will close on
Nov. 10, 2012.
For more information, contact
Wark at 519-524-2686 ext. 208.
