Why Help the Museum?

The Canadian Canoe Museum benefits Canadians both regionally and nationally.  It has the potential to draw thousands of tourists to Central Ontario every year, becoming a major catalyst for development of accommodation, restaurants, complementary attractions and related services. 

Business-like Approach

The Canadian Canoe Museum is unique in its progressive approach to sustainability.  It is a new breed of museum that operates outside of government.  It is a registered charity with a focused business plan and a variety of revenue streams (activity fees, gift shop sales, admission fees, memberships, local and national fundraising campaigns).  The Museum relies heavily on volunteers and places a high priority on forging mutually-beneficial alliances with First Nations, federal, provincial and municipal governments, other heritage institutions, colleges and universities, foundations and corporations.
