The OMA and The Globe and Mail are working together to provide Ontario's museums with an opportunity to showcase the experiences they will be offering during 2021's unique summer tourism season.

This special feature of museums will highlight both in-person and virtual experiences in Ontario museums, and provides an opportunity for museums of all sizes and Regional Museum Networks to reach out to visitors in-print and online with special rates to advertise.

As museums plan for their re-opening dates and tourists plan their "staycations", the Explore Ontario's Museums special feature, slated for publication on Friday, May 28th, will close out May is Museum Month with all that Ontario museums have to offer!

Important Dates:

Advertising Commitment- April 30th, 2021

Strengthening our sector

Support the Ontario Museum Association

As we approach the year end after an exceptional pandemic year, we would like to thank our members and supporters for their engagement during the last year, making our work for Ontario museums possible. With your help, the OMA will continue strengthening Ontario’s museums through key advocacy initiatives, enriching the sector with professional development opportunities, and connecting museum professionals, volunteers, institutions, and enthusiasts from across the province.

If you can, consider making a donation to support the Association's work to continue empowering Ontario's museums.

With member engagement and support, here are some of the ways we were able to support the museum sector this year:

Online resources, including museum-specific pandemic guidance, communications on government programs and funding news, and a COVID-19 webinar series:
- Planning to Reopen Your Museum or Gallery - A Conversation
- Caring for Heritage Collections during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Bursaries for the OMA Annual Conference and the upcoming Indigenous Collections Symposium enabled us to make these events accessible to the greatest number of people, creating connections across our community during these challenging times
Advocacy at both the federal and provincial levels, Budget Submissions, setting up advocacy meetings with MPPs, and providing Ontario's Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries with sector data collected in our COVID-19 Impact Surveys
First virtual edition of the OMA Annual Conference, bringing together some the sector's leading thinkers and innovators to address timely topics like tourism, climate justice, mental health, and digital transitions
OMA White paper“Exhibiting Resilience: Empowering Ontario’s community museums for strategic recovery," recommending a Museum Relief Fund, Digital Response Funding, and a Renewed Ontario Museum Funding Model
