WE WANT TO KNOW what exciting and innovative ways your museum/gallery is involved in adult education, inquiry-based learning, and the new Ontario curriculum.

Do you:

We invite you to share your approaches and ideas in a presentation that will engage others in conversation and offer learning in this peer learning environment.
We ask that presentations be a maximum of 15-20 minutes in length, followed by 10-15 minutes discussion period.  However, new approaches are welcome and creative presentations may be longer or shorter depending on what you want to share or get out of them.  All ideas related to the topic are welcome. Step up and share!

Monday Meeting Cancelled

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately, we've had to cancel our scheduled meeting for Monday September 16.

BUT, we would like to remind you IC conference registration is up and the early bird rate is only available until the 20th. It should be a fun conference, with field trips to locations such as Ruthven Park.
The conference takes place this year at the RBG - right in our own backyard!
