A Year in Review

“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” —John F. Kennedy

The Canadian museum CommuniTy has experienced a year of uncertainty with many achievements in 2012. Given these realities, we at the CMA, much like John F. Kennedy, have had our eye on the future. Despite many uncertainties, we have kept up our faith, focus and determination, and we’ve continued to champion the museum sector, ensuring that it will remain valued and relevant to our funders and to the people we serve.

our mission is the advancement of museums in Canada and in 2012, the Board and Staff have been totally committed to achieving this overarching goal. We are proud to offer a wide variety of valued services to the entire community. To this end, our members’ continued support and invaluable guidance is paramount. Thanks to you, the CMA has a stronger voice with elected officials. You’ve also provided important assistance in the development of the new Strategic plan. As the current plan expires in 2013, we are seeking strong membership input and invite all members, stakeholders and lovers of museums and galleries to participate in this process.

Your support has also allowed us to maintain strong and constructive conversations with the Federal Government which resulted in stable funding for programs in a period when most organizations’ funding was decreased. In fact, as a direct result of our advocacy, the government increased its support for museums by doubling the Indemnification program to $3 billion. The federal budget also singled out museums as important to the social fabric of Canada.

In addition, the Government announced a $25 million investment in the new Canadian Museum of History which includes the development of a new network of history museums which will benefit our membership. And while keeping our focus on the future, we have made major recommendations to parliament in regards to the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017. We are confident that museums will feature prominently in these multiyear funding activities.

our network is strong; our voice is being heard; our membership is growing and reaching record numbers; our conferences and activities continue to be well attended; it’s been a successful year indeed. one noteworthy success is that the CMA has achieved greater self-reliance through fundraising efforts. We sincerely thank contributors for their commitment to the CMA.

our future in Canadian society is bright and we must be ever vigilant in communicating our value so that upcoming generations can appreciate and understand what it means to be Canadian.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIESMuseum Retail & Visitor Services SymposiumThe 20th edition of the MR&VS was held in Toronto, oN, from January 26 to 28, 2012. The theme of the symposium was Facebook or Face Time – 20 years of connecting with your visitor! Sessions provided information on visitor services and for museum stores. A mobile workshop in the Kitchener-Waterloo region provided further behind-the-scenes opportunities for delegates.

On the Edge! National ConferenceThe 2012 CMA National Conference was held in Gatineau, QC, from April 23 to 27. This was the CMA’s 65th anniversary Conference where more than 550 delegates were inspired by amazing keynote speakers such as Chantal Hébert, Robert Sirman, Michaëlle Jean, David Buckland and olivia Chow. Several training sessions and workshops enhanced museum professionals’ knowledge and skills over the course of the week.

Collaboration with the museum community was crucial in all aspects of planning, implementation and delivery. The CMA partnered with more than 20 museums, art galleries, historical sites, government agencies and organizations across Canada in the development of the conference.

As always, the CMA values the community’s comments and ideas for future conference planning, and asks all participants to complete evaluations of their professional development activities. This year’s results show 21% of delegates were “Very Satisfied” and 72% were “Satisfied”.

10 Strategic priority 2Shape public policy and Advocating for the Museum Sector

POLICY DEVELOPMENTIn an era of major cuts to most federal grant programs, museums were grateful to be recognized in the March 2012 federal budget, not just for one year but until 2015. This is considered a success for our sector. In addition, the indemnification limit for Canada’s Travelling Exhibition Indemnification Program was increased to $3 billion following the CMA’s active lobbying. Following the presentation of the budget, the CMA was called before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance in May, and the Senate Committee on National Finance in June, to defend and discuss these decisions. other key policy recommendations pursued throughout the year include: the development of the Canadians Supporting their Museums Fund, a matching donation program to encourage individuals and the corporate sector to become more active supporters of museums and galleries in Canada; building on the success of youth employment strategies by creating new employment opportunities in museums and expanding the Young Canada Works program for the heritage sector; as well as recommendations geared at creating fiscal stability for our sector.

Canadian Museums DayThe 4th annual Canadian Museums Day on parliament Hill took place on November 27, 2012. Delegates from museums and galleries across the country, as well as trustees and supporters of museums, participated in meetings with 25 Members of Parliament and Senators to discuss the economic and societal value of Canada’s museums.

The day’s meetings were preceded by a breakfast meeting with the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage, which was attended by over 50 delegates, guests and media. The day concluded with a reception hosted by the Honourable Noël Kinsella, Speaker of the Senate. Delegates also benefited from a professional development session with external consultants JS Communications.

Communicating with Key OfficialsIn order to improve our key officials’ understanding of the value of museums in Canadian society, the CMA continues to build strong relationships with parliamentarians and department officials from all federal parties. This year has been filled with meetings, committee appearances and official correspondence with Members of parliament, Senators and senior officials on various files, including copyright, archives, youth unemployment, Environment Canada’s Biosphère, parks Canada, the Canada Travelling Exhibitions Indemnification program, and more.

The Road to 2017our country will be celebrating a major milestone in 2017, with the 150th anniversary of Confederation. Museums will be at the very core of the celebrations. In light of this, the CMA prepared a discussion guide for its members and organized a series of focus groups in early 2012 asking for feedback and ideas on the role of museums in 2017. The CMA was invited to submit a brief to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage in April that presented its recommendations. The committee published its report in october with great emphasis placed on museums and the CMA’s recommendations. The Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage, has officially acknowledged receipt of the Committee’s Report in January 2013 on behalf of the Government.

Canada-China Cultural Dialogue The CMA continued working with the Canadian Fund for International Understanding through Culture. The Fund hosted a major conference in Beijing in June 2012 with its counterpart in China, the Chinese people’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, an agency of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The third Canada-China Cultural Dialogue was attended by 10 Canadian museum and cultural directors and professionals who signed a total of 12 Memoranda of Understanding (MoU’s) for future cultural collaborations.

Cultural Access Pass The CMA continued its very successful partnership with the Institute for Canadian Citizenship (ICC) to deliver the Cultural Access pass (CAp) which provides free access to new Canadian citizens to cultural institutions. The program is now of national scope and includes approximately 1,200 museums, galleries, heritage organizations and national parks. Sixty thousand new citizens have participated in the program since 2009, with 21,400 active participants in 2012 alone.

CAp’s national presence increases the ease with which new citizens can participate in the program and foster a long term connection to Canada’s arts and culture sector. For more information visit the Cultural Access pass website at www.icc-icc.ca.

Michaëlle Jean Foundation Since early 2012, the CMA has had several meetings with the Michaëlle Jean Foundation to develop a collaborative partnership program. The Wall Massive initiative would partner museums, community organizations and youth across Canada. The goal is to work together to empower underserved youth to use the arts as a vehicle for change within their community. A pilot project with museums in five key cities — Montreal, ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto — is under development.

Defining Moments: Discovering our Canadian Stories The CMA was proud to partner with TakingItGlobal in 2012 to present the Defining Moments: Discovering our Canadian Stories project, a collection of over 700 artworks created by youth (aged 13-30) in Canada expressing their Canadian identity. A number of CMA members agreed to present the travelling exhibition which consisted of 26 works selected by a national jury over the course of the year. The CMA encouraged this innovative program by donating membership cards to provincial and territorial winners of the art contest. The Awards ceremony was held at the National Gallery of Canada in ottawa on February 16, 2013. Visit www.canadianmoments.ca to see their impressive artwork.

CMA Insurance Program Dr. Sonja Tanner Kaplash chairs the CMA Insurance Committee and leads in both monitoring our current program and development of benefits targeted to our participating museums. The CMA Insurance program, under brokers Marsh Canada, continued to see growth during 2012 as new institutions joined the program. The program allows CMA members to benefit from group rates for museum property and collection insurance.

The health care insurance program, administered by Aon Hewitt, offers attractive premiums to both individual and institutional members of the CMA. In December 2012 the CMA put out a Request for proposal as part of our program review.

RBC Museum Internship for Emerging ProfessionalsThe Diefenbunker, Canada’s Cold War Museum and the Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) each hosted interns as part of the RBC Museum Internship for Emerging professionals program.

The purpose of this program is to provide quality, mentored internships and enhanced learning experiences for emerging museum professionals, including graduates of museum and arts studies programs, curators, conservators and arts administrators. While at the Diefenbunker, the intern successfully researched and developed classroom resources in preparation of the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 2014. This project will assist the Diefenbunker in providing curriculum-linked Cold War education across Canada.

The CCI internship was also a tremendous success, allowing the intern to learn conservation treatments, conduct exploratory scientific research, and treat various archaeological materials.

The CMA could like to thank the RBC Foundation for its continued support for this important internship program for youth.

Visual Arts AllianceThe CMA is a founding member of the Visual Arts Alliance (VAA), a network of visual arts organizations in Canada. The VAA includes 12 national organizations representing artists, craftspeople, museums, and artist run centres. We consider this an important commitment to help build a more cohesive body for the arts sector and to help promote and nurture the struggling visual arts in Canada. The CMA hosted and facilitated several national meetings in 2012.

ICOM and legal affairsThe CMA supports the role of ICoM, our international body, through various means. We are pleased to assist ICoM Canada, its national committee, in its role. The CMA’s executive director is active in ICoM as the Chair of the international Standing Committee on Legal Affairs. This committee has developed an innovative solution to resolve cultural property disputes through a new mediation program. It also deals with leading issues (from copyright policy to stolen art works) affecting museums internationally.

CMA Wholesale ProgramThe wholesale program continued to grow in 2012, with several new products offered. We are continuously reviewing our offerings and researching new products as requested by museum gift shops. This program provides a great opportunity for museums to benefit from group purchasing power and increase the profitability of their museum shops. We’re pleased to see that an increasing number of institutions are participating.

SelectionsFollowing the sale of Selections Mail order Catalogue in 2011, the CMA negotiated a royalty payment from the new owner. This royalty will continue to be used to support CMA programs. The CMA’s financial liabilities for this program have all been resolved.

Expo 2012 — The CMA TradeshowThis year’s professional tradeshow in Gatineau, QC showcased 34 exhibitors and provided a vast array of information on services and products for Canadian museums and museum professionals. The tradeshow component at the Annual Conference continues to be an outstanding attraction for both exhibitors and participants alike. We wish to thank our 2012 partners for their on-going support!

Strategic priority 4Ensure organizational Sustainability

Museums Foundation of CanadaThe CMA works closely with the Museums Foundation of Canada, a separate registered charity. Its role is to receive donations or bequests for the purposes of supporting eligible projects dedicated to advancing museums in Canada through direct support to individual museums, or through awards, education, research and other programs. Museums, galleries, and related institutions can also use the Foundation, for instance if they need to segregate certain donations from their operations. Through continued fundraising efforts, over $177,000 has been raised toward the Shirley Thomson Award/Internship program. The Foundation continues to provide support for the Fellows lecture at the National Conference on an annual basis.

The CMA Secretariat benefits from a dynamic staff located in ottawa, oN. Although staff turnover was relatively high in 2012, their dedication was truly inspiring. Staff members and contractors on special assignments are focused on a variety of specific projects that serve our members, such as the efficient delivery of the Young Canada Works program. We sincerely thank all of these people for their dedication and commitment to museums causes.

CMA Governance The CMA Executive Board met several times during 2012. As president, Bill Greenlaw chaired meetings on April 24 and 26 in Gatineau, Quebec. Another meeting was held in ottawa on November 28. In addition, conference call meetings took place on February 2 and September 13, 2012.

Nominations CommitteeUnder the leadership of past-president, Jon Tupper, the CMA’s nominations committee created an open-call for suggestions for vacancies on the Board starting in 2012. A final slate was determined and communicated to the membership in accordance with the CMA’s By-Law requirements.

The CMA is governed by an elected Board of Directors with nine members from across Canada. In 2012, the association’s Annual General Meeting was held in Gatineau, Quebec where the following Board members were elected:� Kirstin Evenden, as Vice-president of the CMA for a two year period. Ms. Evenden was the president/CEo of

the Glenbow Museum, Calgary, AB in 2012.� Karen Bachmann, as Director of the CMA, for a three year period. Ms. Bachman is Director/Curator of the

Timmins Museum, Timmins, oN.� Stephen Borys, as Director of the CMA, for a three year period. Mr. Borys is Executive Director of the Winnipeg

Art Gallery, Winnipeg, MB.� Gerry Osmond, as Director of the CMA, for a three year period. Mr. osmond is the Manager at provincial

Historic Sites – Newfoundland and Labrador, St. John’s, NL.

Membership The CMA membership continues to maintain strong revenues and saw a slight increase above the numbers reported in 2011. Membership reached 1809 strong by year end; a total that in cludes individual, institutional, student and non-paying memberships (fellows, complimentary, staff and honorary). The new benefit grid, along with new and enhanced membership benefits, was introduced late in 2011 and was well received throughout 2012. We will continue to review and improve our benefits in response to member feedback. The Membership Department undertook a call campaign over the summer, reaching out to all members to update contact and staffing information. This initiative was invaluable for the maintenance of the CMA membership database and offered an opportunity for members to ask questions and to provide us with feedback.

Finances The CMA’s transition to the project-based Museums Assistance program (MAp) funding, introduced in 2011, continued into 2012. This year, with advance warning and knowledge of the requirements, we were able to adjust our systems and plans to adapt. Although our overall MAp funding for 2012-13 was consistent with that received in 2011-12, remaining at about 79% from previous years, we were able to complete our projects and our fiscal year with a small surplus.

CMA Audit LiaisonThe CMA has an independent audit liaison, appointed by its Board of Directors. The liaison participates in meetings with the auditors, both pre- and post-audit, and is available as required during the audit process. The audit liaison is responsible for reviewing the CMA audit, the management letter and recommendations, as well as reviewing on an ongoing basis the expenses of the CMA’s executive director. The audit liaison reported to the Board on a regular basis and noted that there were no issues in 2012.

CommunicationsIn 2012, the CMA released a total of 15 communiqués related to the museum sector, including nationally relevant topics. The CMA also issued a total of 35 electronic newsletters which shared smaller news stories from across the country as well as internal affairs. The newsletters are designed to be bi-weekly, however a number of time-sensitive special announcements were released in additional newsletters.

This past year, the CMA entered into a partnership with MultiView Inc. to revamp the popular daily news clipping service. The new clippings style was well received, as it now includes briefs, links to previous clippings, and instant social media sharing tools. In addition, a year-end clippings list, featuring the most popular news items from 2012, was sent during the CMA secretariat holiday closure in December.

Social MediaAfter introducing social media last year, the CMA is pleased to report that activity levels have dramatically increased. The CMA Facebook page has reached more than 500 “Likes”, allowing dissemination of information to the younger generation. Facebook reports that the majority of our followers are between the ages of 25 and 34 years. After a full year using the popular internet app, the CMA is now more aware and better prepared to offer information to this targeted audience. Similarly, the CMA’s Twitter account has more than doubled in 2012 with just over 700 followers. The YouTube page, despite its still-limited use has over 1000 views. Building on this success, the CMA intends to make better use of YouTube in 2013 as well as other video-streaming solutions. In addition, the social media feeds were of great use to delegates attending the 65th National Conference; the hashtag #CMA2012 incited discussion and commentary from delegates, and reached museum professionals who were unable to attend. Similarly, the Facebook page was most popular during the week of the National Conference in May 2012.

MuseAs per previous years, the CMA published six issues of Muse magazine in 2012. Themes covered included: innovation and technology, leadership and the next generation of museum professionals, international recognition, visitor service practices, and a special issue was dedicated to museums of cities. The CMA received much positive feedback on the Museums of Cities edition which was completed through a partnership with Guest Editor Catherine C. Cole, member of CAMoC. The year proved to be fruitful for Muse, with an audience of nearly 2000 readers. This past year the editorial team worked hard to include articles from every province and territory, and was successful in finding a balance in contributions from across Canada. Muse also set a new record for itself with 15% of all contributions coming from international heritage organizations. Looking forward, the CMA hopes to continue to receive pan-Canadian and international submissions for publication in 2013.
