Development of Educational Programming for the Lucy Maud Montgomery Museum and Literary Centre

This project is a collaboration between the University of Guelph and the Halton Hills Heritage Foundation for the development of educational programming for the Lucy Maud Montgomery Museum and Literary Centre (LMMMLC). The LMMMLC has the potential to become a social and cultural hub in the Halton Region based in the town of Norval, Ontario. This institution will be instrumental in the community and cultural rebuilding efforts that are currently undertaken by most Canadian cities at this moment. But because of the circumstances created by the pandemic, the Heritage Foundation has been unable to execute major preparations for the opening of the LMMMLC, including hiring specialists to devise educational programming and oversee its promotion. These issues remain present as there are no steady sources of income that can support the administrative tasks required in the organization of people and activities that could be part of the LMMMLC’s educational programming. Thus, this project’s focus on the development of educational programming aims to address both the social offerings of the LMMMLC and its financial needs to operate as an institution.
