As long as they are being funded by the regiment and DHH they wont close or sell anything. Every military museum is in the same boat, there is no money untill someone wants something.
I have 71 MVs on my D.A. with about 45 being operational, I have been after cement pads sence june of 1999 when started...still no cement pads unless its in a high profile area....Museum cant be seen from the main road ....Yet! Jason

Yes Ed all sitting out side the same as all military museums owned by DHH, I know where your going with this! as i have seen it before on other threads, but remember at the end of the day we still have em and they run...
Sorry if i go on the defence but it really burns my butt when arm chair historians start yipping off about how they they are rusting away and what the point of having them if you cant look after them...What i would really like to see is these people put these money where there mouth is and come out ang give a hand or spend a day seeing how it really is in these museums, a bit different that showing up for a visit then seeing things that are wrong in the collections and going on a public forum and complaining about it where the people cant even respond to it....Reminds me of someone a few years ago that showed up at the museum in Gagetown.The truth is we doing because we just as you love em too and have no support if we dont they wind up as razor bladesor garbage and nobody will ever see em.

Jason, the really good news....a whole bunch of folks read the article in the Toronto Sun and visited the Ontario Regiment museum. Quite a few did the right thing and made donations.
I would be very interested in learning more about your own museum.... Can you post some pictures? Is there a website? Randy
