The Canadian War Museum appreciates the Friends of the Canadian War Museum’s continued support of our educational programs and projects. The COVID-19 pandemic shifted and changed the way we worked, but the Museum staff were resilient throughout and continued to develop new educational assets to help audiences explore the breadth of Canadian military history – resilience and heroism.

Dear Reader - the smiles tell the story! Together with some Board Directors, I presented Caroline Dromaguet, the Director General of the Museum, with a cheque for $104,000 from the Friends. Notwithstanding the constraints imposed by the pandemic including the closing of our very popular military history book room, a major source of revenue, we continued to raise funds in support of our charitable purpose and in compliance with our cooperative agreements with the Museum. This was entirely due to the leadership of our Board and the continuing support of donors, Members and all Canadians.

The work of the CWM is on the side of the angels – it’s an easy sell.

Thank you all!

Robert Hamilton
