<div dir="ltr"><div><b>New Webinar! <br><br>BCMA Webinar: Indigenous Heritage Component of the Museum Assistance Program with Canadian Heritage</b></div><div><b>Wednesday September 28, 1:00pm to 2:00pm PST</b></div><div><b><br>
</b>Are you an Indigenous heritage organization looking for project funding
to support your strategic plan? Are you an Indigenous government
developing a heritage preservation plan? Are you a non-Indigenous museum
looking to meaningfully engage with the local Indigenous community? The
Indigenous Heritage component of the Museums Assistance Program (MAP)
provides funding for projects related to the preservation, management
and presentation of Indigenous cultural heritage while also seeking to
increase public awareness and understanding of the rich and diverse
cultures of Indigenous Peoples. To learn more about the Indigenous
Heritage component, please join the Department of Canadian Heritage
Senior Program Advisors, Keltie MacKenzie and Michael Smith when they
will give an overview of the program guidelines, explain what types of
projects and organizations are eligible for funding, and answer your
questions about the application process and project assessment. You will
also have an opportunity to ask questions following the presentation.
