Museums, galleries and archives - MGAs - are reassessing their roles and 
find themselves ideally placed to foster critical dialogue needed for 
greater awareness of, and workable solutions to, both local and global 
problems. At a time when many communities are facing challenging issues, 
MGAs can serve a critical role as public places for encouraging civic 
engagement, sharing information, and encouraging innovative thinking.  
This year's BCMA conference will explore a range of ways that MGAs can 
facilitate increased civic engagement and awareness among the 
communities they serve.

The BC Museums Association encourages both members and non-members, 
especially policy makers, educators, and creative professionals - anyone 
interested in the power of civic engagement - to attend this critically 
important conference. "Museums and galleries are already highly valued 
educational and cultural resources in the communities they serve," says 
BC Museums Association President Peter Ord, "but they can, and need to 
be, even more relevant and beneficial to citizens. This conference is an 
important milestone in the evolution of the sector, as they seek to 
become an even greater contributor to an informed and involved public."

The conference will include speakers and panelists from across Canada. 
Keynote speakers include *Douglas Worts* and *Robert R. Janes*.  Worts 
is a culture & sustainability specialist with WorldViews Consulting, and 
a past Senior Research Fellow of the Canadian Museums Association. Janes 
is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Museum Management and Curatorship, 
Visiting Research Fellow at the School of Museum Studies at the 
University of Leicester (UK), Adjunct Professor of Archaeology at the 
University of Calgary, Canada, and past President and CEO of the Glenbow 
Museum.

The conference will be held on October 23-26 at the award-winning 
Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort and Conference Centre in Parksville, 
BC and is organized in conjunctions with the Parksville Museum and 
Archives.
