“The funding we received through the Canada Summer Jobs and Young Canada Works in Heritage Organizations made a tremendous difference,” said Faryn Stanley, Museum Education Officer. “It allowed us to recruit talented young leaders, enhance our programming and ensure accessibility for families in our community.” 

There were grants provided by Canada Summer Jobs. This initiative was part of the Government of Canada’s Youth Employment and Skills Strategy and Young Canada Works in Heritage Organizations, a federal program dedicated to youth employment and heritage, administered by the Canadian Museums Association. It directly contributed to youth employment and skill-building.

According to the City of Peterborough, these programs not only helped the PMA meet its staffing needs but also provided young people with valuable experience in leadership, teamwork and community service.
