Unfortunately, because of the location and style of our building, as well as very limited open hours, it has become somewhat of a local “hangout” where groups of street people will gather, smoke, eat, spread their stuff out etc., along with other undesirable activity, much illegal. The worst part about it is that our 108 year old building is at serious risk. Cigarette butts are constantly snuffed out on the wooden porch or flicked into the nearby bark mulch (even during a 35 degree summer day) plus excessive garbage is always left behind and vandalism to the building is a constant problem; new “tags” are added daily despite us constantly painting over them. Sometimes dangerous garbage (drug paraphernalia) is also left behind, leaving other members of the public as risk. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I have done a lot of research into possible solutions to the problem and have come to the conclusion, after trying many more subtle approaches, that the only way to keep this from happening is to have our grounds fenced in, monitored for trespassing, and only open during the hours that the museum is open. However, our building (and the grounds) is owned by the District of Mission and leased to the Historical Society for $1 per year, so I have run into the argument that you cannot fence in “public” grounds. As far as I’m concernd, the grounds are just an extension of the Museum and if you can’t wander through the Museum (which is a public building) when it is closed, why should you be able to wander through the grounds?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Does anyone else have this security situation in place? Do you know of any Museum’s (in Canada) that do? As in, the building is owned, but not run, by the city/district/town and yet the grounds are fenced? I am hoping to find examples of where this does happen to present with my argument. Could anyone suggest any other Museums for me to contact that may have such a system in place?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please respond via the listserv or directly to <a href="mailto:info@missionmuseum.com">info@missionmuseum.com</a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you in advance for any input on this matter, I appreciate any and all help I can get!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Hazel Godley</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Manager</span><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'> </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><img border=0 width=421 height=125 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D073A1.B4B20980" alt="LOGOTYPE_ANTGOLOD"></span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Operated by the Mission District Historical Society</span><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>604-826-1011<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><a href="mailto:info@missionmuseum.com">info@missionmuseum.com</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><a href="http://www.missionmuseum.com/">www.missionmuseum.com</a> <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
