Survey information and background on future planning

Representatives from the museum are looking to renew their strategic plan and develop a roadmap for the future of this community landmark for the next five years.

To support the strategic plan, an interpretive plan was developed in 2019 to guide the future of the museum’s exhibition galleries and public spaces.

Further, the museum has developed both vision and mission statements.

Vision:

The St. Catharines Museum will be a leading local history museum and community gathering place, engaging our visitors and building relationships with partners. We will encourage sustainability, demonstrate curatorial leadership and deliver innovative programming and exhibits.

Mission:

The St. Catharines Museum is dedicated to engaging our visitors, telling the story of the city through artifacts, and preserving, sharing and celebrating the cultural identity and history of the city; we are a community resource that interprets, exhibits, researches, acquires, and preserves material culture and stories of St. Catharines.
