Hello,

The Agassiz Harrison Museum received 0 funding for students this year =
under the Canada Summer Jobs program. They have always received at least =
one student for the past many, many years. Another letter is on its way =
to our MP!

  New Westminster Museum and Archives had received approval for a YCW - =
Archives grant for 1 student as requested. =20



  Today (May 22) I phoned to ask what the status was of our application =
for 1 museum student that we had requested and was told we did not make =
the cut. Later today we received a letter saying that YCW in Heritage =
Organizations ". are currently unable to provide financial support for =
your project.  In the event that additional funding resources become =
available for the YCW 2007 Program, we will be contacting your =
organization. ."



  We did not apply for any other summer student programs this year.=20

  Well I put in my twenty minutes: the 1-800 number gets you to someone =
who has no idea what you are talking about.  I was also referred to =
Susan Murdoch who was in a meeting and then to Kent O'Connor who was =
pleasantly patronizing, and kept saying that the $5 million that is =
supposed to help museums is not to compensate for the HRDC cuts (I'm =
sure someone said that the $5 million was specifically to compensate for =
the HRDC cuts) but is just to help us out, but they have not decided =
when, and it will be going through the YCW program at CMA.



  As for HRDC, the Minister of Veteran's Affairs (no idea why him) =
announced last week that all the organizations across the country that =
have been cut will be funded.  Odd that no one has followed up on that =
with an announcement.  I think the government is falling apart.

  Thanks for your suggestion regarding phoning Minister Oda and the PM, =
Lee Boyko.  I tried phoning on Victoria Day when I wasn't working =
myself.



  Neither number you gave will afford an opportunity to leave a message =
after hours unless a 'mailbox number' is supplied. =20

  I had none.



  This morning, at 11am Ottawa time, I tried Minister Oda's phone =
number.  I was redirected to a gentleman who redirected me to Lyn Elliot =
Sherwood (819 997 7774) who is, apparently "in charge of museums", and =
thence, as she was not in her office, to Susan Murdoch (997 8756) who =
was not in her office either and whose answering machine clicked off as =
I started to speak.  The process took twenty minutes.=20



  There is a toll free number: 1 800 720 0994.  Ask for the local 819 or =
ask to speak to Lyn (Elliot) Sherwood... My receptionist found her name =
listed under Sherwood, not Elliot.=20



  I hope you all have better luck than I did. =20

    Hi Everyone,

    I would like to encourage all of you to pick up your phones and call =
the following two numbers:

    (613) 992-2792  This is Minister Oda's phone number

    (613) 992-4211  This is Prime Minister Harpers number

    Call them, even if after hours and leave a message.

    Simply ask them what is happening with the announced summer student =
funding for museums? Many museum that have traditionally been supported =
by the exisiting summer student programs have heard in the past few days =
that they are getting nothing this year.

    Add your personal stories.

    Cheers

    Lee Boyko
