Subject: [Bcma-l] Federal Funding Announced for Nanaimo Museum

New Nanaimo Museum to receive $2.3 million in federal funding!

At a special ceremony on Feb. 10, Dr. James Lunney, Member of Parliament for
Nanaimo-Alberni, announced that the Nanaimo District Museum Society will
receive a grant totaling $2,301,301.00 through the Cultural Spaces Canada
program. The money will go towards the interior finishing of the new museum
and the purchase of specialized equipment. 

The new facility, with a total cost of $7.36M, will be housed within the New
Nanaimo Centre and is scheduled to open in spring 2008. The City of Nanaimo
has also committed more than $4M for construction costs. 

"The Government of Canada is proud to support the development of the new
Nanaimo Museum," said Dr. Lunney. "It will be an important destination for
traveling exhibits from across the country and will house First Nations
artifacts from Nanaimo." 

It was an exciting and long-awaited announcement for Joyce Brookbank,
president of the NDMS. "Thanks to this generous commitment, Nanaimo will
have an "A" level museum and attraction to interpret and preserve our
community heritage" she said.

For Bob Bennie, the museum's fundraising campaign chair, this announcement
is exactly what he's been waiting for. "We've been poised to launch our
fundraising campaign in Nanaimo for some time now, but until this
unprecedented announcement came down the pipe, we didn't know exactly how
much we would need," he said. 

Debbie Trueman, general manager of NDMS, says the museum is now responsible
for raising $1.16M to pay for functional fittings and installation of the
exhibits in the new space.  "Our application to Cultural Spaces included a
request for $280,000 for artifact storage, prep area and gallery lighting,
which I'm pleased to announce was also granted," she said. 

The museum will now turn to the community to meet its remaining fundraising
obligations. The official launch of the campaign, with a number of exciting
new developments, gets under way on Feb. 22. Museum members will be first on
the guest list with invitations going out next week.  "These funds, from
various levels of government as well as the community, will enable us to
meet AA standards as established by the Canadian Conservation Institute,"
said Trueman.

More Good News...

The Honourable Beverley J. Oda, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Status of
Women, announced recently that Nanaimo District Museum has received a grant
of $21,310 under the Capacity Building component of the Canadian Arts and
Heritage Sustainability Program for the New Nanaimo Museum Revenue
Generation Plan. In other words, these funds will support the Museum's
efforts to develop a comprehensive strategic business plan as well as plans
to generate more revenue for its expanded operations.
