One of the OMA’s key values is community and collaboration, expressing our belief in a united museum sector, and meaningful collaboration and partnerships. In support of those goals, we were pleased to support a University of Toronto Master of Museum Studies Capstone Project. It was a stakeholder consultation undertaken by three University of Toronto students – Van Gonzales, Faith Peter and Isabella Springett – which resulted in a final report, “Our View From Here.” The OMA is proud to post that report on our site and its resource hub, and we hope that this snapshot of current issues in the sector will benefit museums and museum professionals across the province.
Developed as a partnership between the Master of Museum Studies program and the Ontario Museum Association for May is Museum Month, this report brings together insights from over 70 participants, including students, Emerging Museum Professionals (EMPs), community leaders, and cultural workers.
This report is a contribution to an ongoing conversation and an invitation to reflect, respond, and continue building toward a museum sector grounded in care, equity, and community.
