Start the new year off with the Ontario Museums Association and the Coalition of Museums for Climate Justice as we share how three Ontario organizations are addressing climate change in their museums.
- Laurie Carmount, Curator, Minden Hills Cultural Centre & Nature’s Place, Minden, Ontario – Laurie will be discussing Nature’s Place, a straw bale construction built in partnership with Fleming College, and her work with local environmental and youth groups.
- Shiralee Hudson Hill, Lead Interpretive Planner, Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Ontario – Shiralee will be presenting more on the development of podcasts that complement the AGO’s Anthropocene by bringing in indigenous and other perspectives not shown as readily in the exhibit.
- Ian Kerr-Wilson, Manager, Heritage Resource Management, Tourism and Culture, Planning ad Economic Development, City of Hamilton – Ian will address his municipal mandate of preserve, present, and sustain and how this is interpreted in Hamilton’s museums.

I would like to sign up for the January 16th webinar – CLIMATE CHANGE – IMPLICATIONS FOR MUSEUM PRACTICE, but now clear how to do it. The link just takes one to the description page.
Hi Julie – Thanks for your note. It appears the webinar is now full so the OMA have removed the registration option from the page. I’ll look into it further though. Stay tuned!
