Some of you know that I'm a big advocate in support of the Canadian Ski Museum and preservation of ski history.
Unlike many of the bigger museums in Ottawa and in other big cities, the Canadian Ski Museum has very little financial support from governments. The only support are through research grants and public donations. The Canadian Ski Museum is situated on the 3rd floor on the Trail Head building/store. The exhibit space is small, but the backroom is filled with the priceless collection in Canadian ski memorabilia. Like most museums, space issues limits display possibilities. The museum is mostly run by dedicated volunteers.
Every year the Canadian Ski Museum has a few events that are made to bring awareness of the skiing rich history.

The Financial states, responsibilities and collections of these aren't all equal, I know and have visited a few of them. Some are most in dire straits than others, regardless of the value of their resources and collections.
