Canoe Museum Announces Open House, Progress In Restructuring

The Canadian Canoe Museum announces a special Open House event.  All the Museum's featured exhibits will be open to the public on Saturday, 27 December, 2003 from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m.  Volunteers of the Museum will be on hand to greet visitors and serve as interpretive guides throughout the galleries.  The Museum Store will be open during the event.

The Open House is meant as a way to thank the community for its support during the Museum's temporary closure to restructure its finances and operations.  The City of Peterborough has provided interim financial assistance, primarily to hire restructuring expertise, and the public has responded enthusiastically to the opening of the Museum Store on weekends during the Christmas shopping season.

The success of the Museum Store, operated entirely by trained volunteers, has been an especially important step along the road to the eventual reopening of the Museum.  A committee of the Board of Trustees has been working with Kroll Restructuring Company to develop a viable plan.  Although assembling all the components of the restructuring plan takes time, the process is on schedule.

The Open House on December 27 attests to the determination of all those associated with the Canoe Museum to see it reopen as soon as possible.  The Museum's web site canoemuseum.net will carry new developments as they arise.
