The report aims to inform efforts in Canada to enhance government support for museums through well-designed policies, strategic investments, impactful programs, and robust funding mechanisms. It highlights the importance of leveraging global knowledge and adapting international best practices to the unique needs of Canada’s museum landscape.

In addition to our existing online HerO resources, we are pleased to offer our members access to a new library of equipment to help them better leverage digital resources in their work and community impact. The HerO lending library offers BCMA members the opportunity to rent equipment like video cameras, podcasting equipment, or document scanners instead of having to buy new equipment for projects.

Join the BCMA and the Executive Director of the Esquimalt Community Arts Hub, Luca Jesse Apel, as he shares first-hand experience on what makes an impactful internship experience for both the student and the organization.

WhAI? will work to develop considerations and wise practices for arts and culture organizations, volunteers, and professionals to help provide a critically reflexive understanding of these emerging tools and can better balance building our sector’s digital capacity through the lens of digital equity.

This toolkit is being developed and delivered for museums as a direct response to the increasing demand for support of museum staff, community, and collection safety.
