A Year in Review
2009
was mostly a year of financial uncertainty for the museum community. The global financial crisis affected museums and the CMA as well.
Canada was fortunate not to be too adversely affected and the steps taken to stimulate the economy benefited many museums and galleries largely in the area of greater infrastructure spending. Generally, museum attendance held its own, largely due to increases from local or regional visitors. However, international tourism saw a decrease, especially from the United States. Donations were also seriously affected. Jon Tupper
Museums had been encouraged by governments to build endowments, but these now produce very small incomes due to current low interest rates. As a result the CMA has proposed several innovative programs to help encourage donations to museums operations and benefit tax and employment strategies. As governments start to deal with these new deficits, it is clear we are in a new era and cuts to programs will begin in late 2010. The CMA intends to play a very strong role in the process of providing advice to the government and to the museum community on new directions to take. The CMA will also vigorously defend the legitimate role of museums as valued public services for the benefit of all.
John G. McAvity
Your membership involvement and the need for a strong independent national voice, working closely with all partners including from different sectors, will be more critical than ever. These challenges may be an opportunity for us to move in significant new directions and to gain greater control over the role and potential of our important institutions, both large and small.

2009 was another success for the
In 2008-2009, 179 bursaries were awarded to museum professionals and volunteers to assist them in their professional development. The Bursary Program is administered by the CMA for the Department of Canadian Heritage.
Young Canada Works in Heritage Organizations program. With access to $5.7 million in project dollars, the CMA was able to create more than 1,450 summer student and short term positions in museums and related heritage organizations. The majority of these jobs were created in small and medium-sized museums, thanks to increased funding that began in 2007. These YCW student jobs allowed participants to learn more about Canada’s cultural heritage while gaining real work experience and earning money to continue their education. Through the Young
Canada Works at Building Careers in Heritage program, eleven recent
graduates were able to build on their post-secondary education and launch their careers in the heritage field. Graduate internships were created at the following seven Canadian organizations: n Beaty Biodiversity Museum, British Columbia n Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Centre, Ontario
Centennial Museum Society of Canmore, Alberta n Huron County Museum, Ontario n Museum of Anthropology, British Columbia n Musée du Haut-Richelieu, Quebec n The New Brunswick Museum, New Brunswick n
Graduates were hosted at the following four international organizations: n Luthuli Museum, South Africa (sponsored by the Commonwealth Association of Museums) n Puke Ariki and District Libraries, New Zealand n Founders Heritage Park, New Zealand n New Zealand Police Museum The CMA gratefully acknowledges the financial support from the Department of Canadian Heritage for making this program a continued success!

Canadians in their Past The Canadians and Their Pasts project entered its fourth year of activity in 2009. Presentations were made about several aspects of its research on why and how people engage the past. This included a plenary session at the CMA national conference in Toronto at which Jocelyn Létourneau, of Université Laval and David Northrup of York University spoke to the findings of the project’s national survey. The session was followed by a discussion focusing on the implications for museums led by Del Muise of Carleton University and Lon Dubinsky, research associate of the CMA. Work also continued on a major book about various aspects of the national survey and is expected to be completed in spring 2010. In fall 2009 preparations began on seminar to be held in February 2010 at the Peel Heritage Complex (PHC) — also a Canadians and Their Past partner — on engaging culturally diverse groups, especially newcomers to museums. Participants will include Pasts co-investigators, several PHC staff, students, representatives from heritage organizations in Mississauga and Oakville, and a representative from the new community-university research alliance on welcoming communities in two- and three-tier cities in Ontario.
Ensuring the relevancy of the association Preserving Canadian Treasures In 2009, with the continued generous support of Dr.Yosef Wosk — a philanthropist and museum trustee in British Columbia — the CMA has awarded ten grants of up to $1,000 each to small museums for conservation and preservation projects. This program is open to any small museum, gallery, or related institution that is an institutional member of the CMA. Recipients of the 2009 Preserving Canadian Treasures are:
Sustainable Development Guide for Canadian Museums
In November 2009, CMA signed a contribution agreement with Environment Canada’s Biosphere to publish the Sustainable Development Guide for Canadian Museums. The first phase, which consisted of a pdf version in both French and English, has been completed. In early 2010, we will be producing an interactive version online, which will enable visitors to sign in, leave comments, post images and share anecdotes.

Ethics
In 2009 the CMA Board of Directors considered the need to better promote ethics in museum work. The CMA currently has 2 sets of ethical guidelines, one for museum workers and one for trustees. A new column on ethical challenges has been introduced in Muse and more programming on ethics is proposed and under consideration, including a major summit. The CMA received a large volume of complaints from individuals over the Royal Ontario Museum’s exhibition of the Dead Sea Scrolls. However the CMA position is not to pass judgement, but rather to provide information and advice. Our ethics statements are only guidelines for the consideration of our members.

Policy development
Canadian Museums Day
Given the changing nature of political focus, and the recession, the CMA put effort on realigning priorities in advocacy. Members were consulted and several focus group meetings were conducted. Members were also informed of CMA activities through regular communiqués.
Canadian Museums Day
Meetings with key officials CMA held a record number of meetings with key officials throughout the year, including the Minister of Canadian Heritage, departmental officials, and a large number of key members of Parliament and the Senate. Various other meetings were held with the Liberal Party key members, NDP and Bloc Quebecois. CMA made a formal presentation before the House of Commons Finance Committee on budget consultations. This resulted in a strong recommendation from the committee for a review of support for nonnational museums.
Senator Noël A. Kinsella
Journée des musées canadiens
September 29, 2009 | 29 septembre 2009
On September 29, the CMA, in partnership with the Canadian Art Museums Directors’ Association (CAMDO), held the first ever Canadian Museums Day on Parliament Hill. Museum professionals from across Canada came to Parliament Hill to meet with members of Parliament and senators and make the case that Canada’s museums require more sustainable federal support because:
Canada’s museums and public art galleries preserve our rich collective memory, shape our identity, promote tolerance and create understanding. They are keystones of our public service infrastructure — an invaluable resource for communities. Canadians participate in our museums and galleries in ways that build positive social engagement and a sense of belonging to Canada. Supporting these institutions means supporting the future of Canada.
Key Facts about Canadian Museums:
The day culminated in a dynamic reception hosted by the Honourable Noël A. Kinsella, Speaker of the Senate.
Canada is home to over 2,500 museums. This includes non-profit museums, art galleries, science centres, aquaria, archives, sports halls-of-fame, artist-run centres, zoos, and historic sites;

10 Building collaborative partnerships that benefit the sector Cultural Access Pass The Cultural Access Pass is a program of the Institute for Canadian Citizenship that allows new Canadian citizens and their children free access to participating museums and galleries in their region for one year after they are sworn in. Over the past several months the CMA and the Institute for Canadian Citizenship (ICC) have partnered to expand the Cultural Access Pass (CAP) program across Canada. Thanks to CMA’s efforts, over 99 museums are now part of the (CAP) program.
CMA Insurance Program The CMA Insurance Program has grown considerably with the appointment of new brokers, Marsh Canada for museum property and collections insurance. No major claims were made in 2009 and premiums have remained at the most attractive rates available with significant new benefits for participating museums. A new feature has been added to provide free legal advice by lawyers to participating members, as well as copyright infringement coverage. Under the chairship of Dr. Sonja Tanner Kaplash, the CMA Insurance Committee held several meetings throughout the year. CMA also offers a health care insurance program for both individual and institutional members, which is administered by AON Consulting Ltd.

CMA / RBC Youth Internship Program Following the success of last year’s CMA / RBC internship pilot project at the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) has generously agreed to provide funding for the next three years for this new internship program for recent graduates to enter the workforce. The purpose of this program is to provide quality internships and enhanced learning experiences for emerging museum professionals, including graduates from a museums studies and/or arts studies program, collections, curatorial, conservation or arts administrators program. We thank the Royal Bank of Canada for its confidence in CMA and in museums.
Kellogg’s With 516 participating museums and 25,716 coupons redeemed over an eight-month period the Kellogg’s Adventure Pass campaign ended on December 30, 2009.

Building collaborative partnerships that benefit the sector ICOM
Canada China Cultural Dialogue
CMA executive director is active with ICOM and chairs the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs. This committee is responsible for providing strategic advice on key issues to the international museums community, in particular on resolution of cultural property disputes, position papers on key issues such as intellectual property, traditional knowledge and cultural expression rights under development by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), International Accounting Standards, and ICOM advocacy.
CMA helped organize the first Canada China Cultural Dialogue held in Beijing Nov 12-13, 2009. In partnership the Canadian Fund for International Understanding, the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (a Chinese non-governmental organization in special consultative status with the UN) and working in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, China, a twoday forum took place on topics such as transformation, diversity, partnership, communications, cultural diplomacy and creative cities.

12 Ensuring organizational sustainability Board governance and development CMA provided learning opportunities that focused on building boards that really work addressing roles and responsibilities, accountability and how to engage them in creating sustainable funding. Workshops were presented by Carolyn Bailey from Bailey Associates and Terry Axelrod from Benevon.
Strategic Plan In 2009 work on the 2009-2013 Strategic Plan was completed The CMA Board was very pleased to share in the direction, values and focus the organization will take in the next five years. The plan refocuses the CMA on values of accessibility, accountability, co-operation, innovation, integrity, lifelong learning, pride and respect. It was the culmination of two years of work and was presented to members at the AGM in Toronto. The results of the actions from our strategic plan are regularly reported to the board and to key funding agencies.
Museums Foundation of Canada In 2009, the CMA started the redevelopment of the foundation with a fundraising feasibility study done by a professional fundraiser. This study was funded in part by a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts Flying Squad Program. This report has been reviewed by the foundation’s board and will be phased in the future with emphasis on major donors and planned giving.
CMA – Annual Report 2009
Selections CMA’s retail program under the banner of Museums of Canada continued. The website was improved and circulation was increased to close to 1 million copies. Although a small surplus was made at year end, the CMA is actively reviewing this enterprise to make it more efficient, review messaging and increase return.
CMA Wholesale Program A successful pilot project was launched to supply environmentally-friendly bags, designed for each participating institution. Over 100,000 bags were produced for participating museums. This wholesale program will be fully launched in 2010.
2009 Trade Show During the CMA National Conference in Toronto, a very successful trade show was organized with over 40 exhibitors in attendance. This is a popular venue for members and exhibitors to share information and services. The 2010 Trade Show was sold out as of September 2009. There are currently 20 booths with no room for expansion. Due to the high demand for booth space and limited space we are offering sponsorship and advertising opportunities to non-exhibitors. Interest in the 2011 tradeshow has already begun.
CMA National Office The CMA staff has grown significantly largely due to our administration of the Young Canada Works program and now includes a total of 22 staff, as well as several others on contract for specific services. Due to growth of the association, the main office located in Ottawa is literally bursting at the seams and additional office space may soon be required. CMA staff also attended many of the provincial museum conferences held by our partner organizations in 2009 as well as other meetings and professional development opportunities.
CMA Governance Jon Tupper, director of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria was elected president of the CMA in 2009. Other members of the CMA Board are: Bill Greenlaw (vicepresident), Nova Scotia Department of Tourism, Culture and Heritage; René Binette (vice- president), Écomusée du fier monde; Andrée Gendreau (pastpresident), Quebec City, QC; Kirstin Evenden, Glenbow Museum; Michale Lang, Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies ; Nataley Nagy, Toronto, ON; Diana Nemiroff, Carleton University Art Gallery; Nancy Noble, Museum of Vancouver and John G.

Membership
Finances
2009 was a very successful year for the CMA membership service. Memberships and revenue continued to grow even during a recession. The CMA met and surpassed its targeted revenue of $316,000, ending with revenue of $330,046; 4% above target. We closed the year with 1,680 paid members. This success is mainly due to going back to the basic approach of one-onone calls, keeping it simple but efficient, maintaining and building open lines of communication with CMA members. The total of non-paid memberships is 75, which include staff, fellows, complimentary and honorary memberships, for a final total of 1,755.
CMA has completed the 2009 fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 with a modest deficit. This deficit is considered to be insignificant due to the relevance to the CMA budget and is less than 0.30% of total operations. In spite of the deficit, cash flow continues to be strong and CMA remains in a positive overall position financially. CMA’s reserves remain at close to $200,000.
CMA student memberships doubled due to a successful new initiative with Algonquin College. The CMA student membership fee will be included in the tuition cost for museum studies program students. This new initiative will be undertaken with other higher education institutions that offer museum study programs. Our selection of group insurance programs has proven to be an attractive benefit and has brought in new institutional members looking to take advantage of these programs. Our membership survey is currently in the final stages of development and will be sent out to all members in 2010.
Marketing Advertising incentives were introduced to offer affordable advertising opportunities for all budgets. The CMA has partnered with Air Canada and Avis to offer discounted air and car rentals during the National conference in Newfoundland from May 10th to May 15th. If all goes well, the CMA hopes to continue this partnership for upcoming events.
Fundraising The CMA is in the process of preparing a generic fundraising document for Preserving Canadian Treasures Program. Upon completion of this document we will start identifying specific corporations, foundations or individual for possible funding.
Awards Committee The selection of the 2009 Awards of Distinguished Service and the Fellows were under the leadership of René Rivard. Committee meetings and deliberations were held in December 2009 and the winners will be announced at the 2010 National Conference. CMA – Annual Report 2009

CMA also has an official and independent audit control representative appointed by the board who reviews the CMA audit, the management letter and recommendations as well as the expenses of the executive director. Regular reports are made to the CMA board. No issues were reported.
In 2009 the CMA published six issues of Muse magazine, which featured: collections development and planning, public perceptions, art and science, the economic recession and museum studies in Canada. Muse magazine also held a successful graphic design competition among students at Algonquin College for a cover design and feature article layout.
Under the leadership of Andrée Gendreau, past-president, CMA’s nominations committee did an open call for suggestions for vacancies on the board starting in 2010. A final slate was determined and communicated to the membership in accordance with the CMA’s By-Law requirements.
The CMA also began a consultation process for a new website that can easily host interactive activities. The CMA continues to be routinely consulted by the media. Issues have included funding, museum and gallery openings, Canadian Museums Day, ethics, partnerships, meetings with government officials and the federal budget, among others.
