A Museum of History Doesn't Equal
A Museum of Civilization

The recently announced changes to the Canadian Museum of Civilization (CMC) are ill-conceived and potentially destructive. “We call on the federal Department of Canadian Heritage to stop its process of redesigning that museum until a panel of distinguished figures in historical and museum work is created and has an opportunity to prepare recommendations on a more appropriate direction for re-developing this outstanding heritage site.”

Bill C-49

Narrowing the focus of the Museum of Civilization means the end of the Museum’s research and collections function.
