The Alberta Railway Museum

PRESIDENT'S COLUMN

 

Operating Grant September 18, 2008:

We are pleased to have been awarded a 2008 Community Investment Program Arts and Museums Building Operating Grant from the Edmonton Arts Council and City of Edmonton.  The award letter states:

   "This grant, in the amount of $3, 018.97 is to support a portion of the costs associated with maintaining clean, well-lighted, heated and secure facilities that are accessible by the public and primarily dedicated for use by a range of not-for-profit arts and cultural groups."

Thanks to the City of Edmonton and the Edmonton Arts Council for this concrete demonstration of their support for the Alberta Railway Museum.

This begins a new stage in the museum's public relations strategy.

The website now may be updated by members.

Members of the APRA (Alberta Pioneer Railway Association), the organization that runs the Museum, meet regularly for reports, entertainment and information.

Attendance has been very low, so the meetings have been suspended for the present time. Contact us for more information.
