The OMA has recommended four areas for investment to the Ministry of Finance and the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs in advance of Ontario’s 2019 budget. The four areas for public investment are:
- Digital Access & Engagement
- Workforce Development
- Investment in annual funding for community museums and reduction of red tape
- Centralized museum services
