In 2019, the BYTOWN MUSEUM is planning to renovate our kitchen and bathrooms! Long Overdue.
We are looking for stakeholders, sponsors, donors and volunteers for the revitalization of our volunteer and staff room and public areas! The Museum’s kitchen and washrooms need new flooring, cabinets, appliances, walls painted, and dishware. And a company to donate food for the volunteers throughout the makeover project.
If you are interested in participating in this all important initiative, please contact robinetherington@bytownmuseum.ca or 613 234 4570 x224.
Thank you to all who have contributed so far!
Please watch the video below of our Executive Director, Robin Etherington and our Board President, Sue Pitchforth discussing the upcoming renovations on ROGERS TV.
Over and above these considerations, the BYTOWN MUSEUM is dedicated to continuing the historical legacy of Ottawa intended by the founding Women’s Canadian Historical Society (WCHSO) for the Museum. Your donations support this original mission and intent, to preserve a unique and pristine legacy and make it more available to the public well into the future. 2016-2017 are very exciting years for our community Museum. We are presently recasting our website and preparing exciting programming and exhibitions for our 100th Anniversary in 2017, within the context of Canada’s 150th birthday. Be part of our proud 100th Anniversary by pitching in with a donation to the Museum: ‘Where Ottawa Begins’. Thank you for your valued participation! Some of our current ‘Wish List’ items that need attention
