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

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

Randy, The new web site is www.nbmilitaryhistorymuseum.ca
There is not a lot of content yet as it is a work in progress,There is only two of us well only really one (me) but I have 5 or 6 return to work guys at any time, these are mostly guys that have PTSD,so i try to employ them to keep there minds at ease. There is also a face book page just look up New Brunswick military history museum. Jason

I Really should join the Ontario Regt Museum and help with it..however after running the Camp X Museum in Whitby for 6 years..and having to close it and "Lend" on long term...all the artifacts...many from BSC Headquarters in New York.....to a Gov Agency in Ottawa...my heart is somewhat out of it
However we MUST Carry On....gotta save something!!! Dean

Sorry Ed, I was on the defence,There has been alot of whining about things of this nature from people who I would think would understand and who do ppost on this forum.
I appoligise. If you are in Gagetown soon Please come and look me up or you can contact me at jason.meade@forces.gc.ca I will give you the full tour inside and out with the new plans for the new museum. I will be soon putting them away for winter ie tarping them up after Nov 11 if the snow holds off that long. Jason
