Fall 2022

Like many, I am having a hard time believing that we have reached the final months of the year. As we near the very end, I suggest taking some time to reflect on how things were done this year, where things can be done better or differently, and what kind of connections were made or missed. In the arts, culture and heritage sector, we are only as good as our connections; to each other, to the past, to the present and to our collective future.

In this issue of Roundup, we bring you Changemakers. These articles come from folks looking at their communities, how their organizations have done things or how they want to do things differently, and pursuing those changes. Be it connecting with the larger community through ‘Doors Open’ like the Richmond Museum or taking the ‘Museum on the Move’ like Maple Ridge Museum, even changing how visitors connect with the plethora of artifacts at the Museum of Anthropology.

Having just returned home from our BCMA Annual Conference last week and reflected on the discussions we had,  I think the desire to be a part of lasting change is increasingly palpable in our sector. I hope that these articles make you pause to think about how you adapted and made change this year, and how you and your organization can be Changemakers in the future.

All the best,
