The Manitoba Museum acknowledges that we are on Treaty No. 1 land, the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Nêhiyawak,

and Michif. These lands, water, and waterways are the unceded territories of the Dakota, and the homeland of the Red River Métis.

The Museum is committed to reflecting the continued legacies of all of the original peoples of this province, including the Ithiniwak,

Denesułine, Anisininew, Inuit, and Nakota.

We acknowledge the harms of the past, are committed to improving relationships in the spirit of truth and reconciliation,

and appreciate the opportunity to live and learn on these traditional lands in mutual respect.

2025–2026 ANNUAL REPORT

LEADERSHIP MESSAGE

The Manitoba Museum holds stories of remarkable scale, with reverberations that extend far beyond our walls.

These stories began long before written memory, continue into the living present, and guide how we choose

to build the future. We can trace the unfolding of life on this land and the many ways people have shaped, and

been shaped by, their world and our own. Within our galleries are moments of wonder and ingenuity, but also

disruption, loss, survival, and resilience. These stories are not distant or abstract; they ask us to reflect on who

we are, how we came to be, and what responsibilities we bear for ourselves and those who will come after us.

At its core, the Museum exists to connect people, whether to

knowledge, one another, or to truths of the past that shape our

shared future. Central to this purpose is our ongoing commitment

to building respectful, reciprocal relationships with First Nations,

Inuit, and Métis communities. This work requires sustained effort,

transparency, humility, and the courage to change. We walk this

path with care and intention, understanding that truth comes

first, and reconciliation must be earned through action.

This responsibility came into sharp focus in May, when, together with

Indigenous leaders, community members, and invested parties, we

gathered in ceremony to acknowledge and apologize for decades of

wrongdoing by the Museum. We sincerely regret that since our

inception, we have held Ancestral remains in our collections. This has

always been wrong and has caused profound harm. As the Homeward

Journey moves forward, we are committed to bringing each and every

Ancestor home, with each step led by kin communities.

Facing the past honestly is essential to building a just and hopeful

future. As a museum and a public gathering place, we strive to

ensure that knowledge is never passive. Here, learning becomes

action; history becomes context; and understanding becomes

the foundation for empathy, accountability, and change.

Just as we have committed to bringing the Ancestors home,

we have been entrusted with the responsibility of confronting

the legacies embedded in the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC)

Royal Charter. In December, the Weston family and David Thomson

acquired the HBC Royal Charter at auction, subsequently donating

it to a consortium of four public institutions, consisting of the

Archives of Manitoba, the Canadian Museum of History, the Royal

Ontario Museum, and ourselves. We are honoured to undertake the

shared work of illuminating the Charter’s impacts on First Nations,

Inuit, and Métis communities, past, present, and future.

As the province’s largest classroom, the Museum understands

that truth and reconciliation are not captured in a moment; rather,

they are the ongoing practice of listening, learning, and, often,

unlearning. Each year, hundreds of thousands of visitors engage

with our spaces, including nearly 100,000 K-12 students.

These learners bring curiosity and wonder, asking questions

that challenge us to think deeply, respond thoughtfully,

and remember that learning never truly ends.

While we celebrate the beauty of human creativity and marvel

at the wonders of nature, so too do we examine the complexities

and contradictions of how each shares space with the other.

Through immersive programs, workshops, and community‑driven

events, we spark curiosity and inspire discovery at every stage of

life. We amplify emerging voices and create platforms for artists,

researchers, and storytellers whose work deepens understanding

and expands imagination.

The Museum has stepped boldly into a period of transformation

shaped by ambition, innovation, and a firm belief in the strength of

collective action. As we prepare to walk through our renewed

Rupert Avenue entrance into our bright, refreshed foyer, we are

already dreaming of what comes next: a vibrant, forward‑looking

institution that brings people together to engage with the most

pressing issues of our time including data sovereignty, climate

change, and the stewardship of our natural world.

In a world changing at lightning speed, this work is urgent.

The path forward depends on STEM education and sustained

investments in knowledge, innovation, and discovery. Standing still

is not an option. To inspire the next generation of thinkers, leaders,

and problem‑solvers, we must continue to evolve, going beyond

textbooks to hands-on, experiential learning – where making

mistakes is part of making discoveries. Our commitment to

Manitobans is unwavering. In turn, we ask Manitoba to commit

to its Museum. Our Museum. Your Museum.

None of this happens without you. Your support strengthens our

reach, fuels growth, and allows us to imagine a bigger and better

tomorrow. Because of you, the Museum is a place where knowledge,

culture, and imagination are nurtured and shared. To everyone

supporting this journey – visitors, donors, members, partners,

collaborators, and co‑creators – thank you.

This work belongs to everyone who believes that understanding

the past gives us both the power, and the duty, to shape what

comes next.

DIGITAL CAPACITY BUILDING

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

Engage & Share

THE FABRIC OF OUR BEING

In 2025–2026, the Manitoba Museum invested in increased digital capacity to support modernization, accessibility, and organizational

effectiveness. A new Digital Operations and Data Coordinator role was created to support the Museum’s CRM and ticketing systems,

ensure data integrity, and advance digital decision making across departments. Museum-wide cybersecurity training reinforced safe and

responsible digital use, while cross-departmental staff collaborated on the development of a staff hub to provide cloud-based access

to internal resources. Targeted professional learning was also supported through staff participation at the national Tessitura Learning

and Community Conference (pictured above), contributing to community learning and improved platform use.

As part of its priority to engage Manitobans in sharing diverse

stories, histories, and perspectives, the Museum partnered with

the Black-Manitobans Chamber of Commerce to host The Fabric of

Our Being in February 2026. Conceptualized by

Jamaican-Canadian poet, author, and arts educator Nadine

Williams, this powerful textile art installation was on display in the

Urban Corridor to coincide with Black History Month, offering

meaningful opportunities for reflection, learning, and dialogue. This

collaborative masterpiece honoured Black history while raising

awareness about the International Decade for People of African

Descent, a vital initiative by the United Nations.

2022-2027

MANITOBA MUSEUM

Strategic Priorities: 2022-2027

Evolve & Impact

SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH RENTALS

Growth in the Rentals & Events department during the year made a significant

impact in support of the Museum’s goal to increase long-term organizational

and financial sustainability. Rental revenue rose by 28 percent over the prior

year, strengthening diversified income streams that support all areas of the

Museum. This growth reflected increased community interest in using the

Museum as a gathering place. Over the year, more than 75 events were hosted

throughout Museum spaces, including weddings, corporate events, dance

parties, and cultural celebrations. The Museum also welcomed events hosted

by diverse cultural communities and new Canadians, reinforcing its role as an

inclusive provincial institution.

In the summer of 2025, the Manitoba Museum partnered with Nature Canada, in association

with the Alliance of Natural History Museums of Canada, to present Critical Distance in the

Science Gallery. Launched at the Museum during Ocean Week 2025, this augmented reality

experience had visitors engage with the realities facing the endangered Southern Resident

Killer Whales of the Salish Sea. Through guided storytelling and immersive technology,

audiences followed the lives of a family of orcas affected by underwater noise and declining

salmon stocks linked to human activity. This partnership supported shared goals of public

learning, environmental awareness, and collaboration.

This year, the Museum took concrete action on its commitment to acknowledge and respond

by reconsidering the curatorial disciplines within the research department, and by creating

a new curatorial role dedicated to Indigenous Collections. Formerly known as Anthropology,

this discipline now also includes Indigenous belongings within the HBC Museum Collection.

Designated for First Nations, Inuit, or Métis individuals, the establishment of this role

demonstrates the Museum’s commitment to supporting meaningful, ongoing relationship

building with Indigenous Nations, Knowledge Keepers, and Elders through lived experience

and cultural expertise. Joining the team in January, Morgan Brightnose is Ininiwak (Cree)

and Métis from Thompson, Manitoba, and a member of Tataskewyak Cree Nation. A PhD

candidate at the University of Manitoba, Morgan brings extensive knowledge of Treaties, land

rights, historic land use, and Indigenous activism, and is already advancing community-based

research rooted in respect, collaboration, and reciprocity.

ICE AGE MURAL

The Manitoba Museum’s Earth History Gallery is home to a brand-

new mural, depicting a verdant scene from a warmer phase of the ice

age, when muskoxen, woolly mammoths, and giant beavers roamed

the land. Fossil evidence for these ice age inhabitants has been found

throughout southern Manitoba and adjacent regions, notably near

Grunthal, Manitoba. The mural, created by Canadian palaeoartist

and natural history illustrator Julius Csotonyi, is based on fossil

finds in Manitoba and adjacent areas.

TRIBUTE 2025

Photo by Ottawa Citizen

In 2025, the Manitoba Museum marked its

20th Annual Tribute Gala by honouring the life and legacy of

The Honourable Murray Sinclair (Mazina Giizhik). Presented by the

National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, the evening recognized

a leader whose work has left an enduring legacy, continuing to shape

justice, reconciliation, and public understanding in Canada.

Held on April 17 in Alloway Hall, the Gala brought together supporters, partners,

and community members in the spirit of reflection and respect. Throughout his life,

Murray Sinclair dedicated himself to advancing Indigenous rights and ensuring the

truths of residential school Survivors were acknowledged and preserved. His influence

continues to guide the Manitoba Museum’s work today.

Funds raised through Tribute 2025 support the Manitoba Museum’s work, including Access

for All, which helps strengthen access, learning, and community connection for all Manitobans.

As the Tribute Gala marked 20 years of impact, the evening also became a moment of gratitude

and a chance to recognize the donors, sponsors, staff, volunteers, and partners whose

continued support makes the Museum’s work possible.

MANITOBA MUSEUM

HOMEWARD JOURNEY APOLOGY GATHERING

On May 22, 2025, the Manitoba Museum issued a formal apology to First Nations,

Inuit, and Métis communities, acknowledging that it has held Ancestral remains

and associated belongings from these communities within its collections.

The Museum held a closed

Ceremony and gathering out of

respect for the Ancestors and

kinship communities, under the

guidance of Spiritual Advisors.

Representatives witnessing this

important moment included

Grand Chief Jerry Daniels of the

Southern Chiefs’ Organization,

Elders from the Assembly of

Manitoba Chiefs, Leaders from

Inuit and Métis communities,

Chiefs of First Nations across

Manitoba, as well as

representatives from the

National Centre for Truth

and Reconciliation. They

were joined by the Manitoba

Museum Board of Governors,

the Indigenous Advisory Circle

to the Museum (IAC), and

Museum staff who help to

care for the Ancestors.

Following a Pipe Ceremony

led by ikche wichashta Kevin

Tacan – the spiritual caregiver

for the Ancestors and a member

of the IAC – CEO Dorota

Blumczyńska provided an official

apology to communities on behalf of the Museum. Leaders from

First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities were then invited

to speak as part of this shared journey of reconciliation.

The apology represented a significant milestone in the

Manitoba Museum’s commitment to rematriation/repatriation;

the return of Ancestors and associated belongings. Former

Curator of Archaeology, Kevin Brownlee, a member of Norway

House Cree Nation (Kinosao Sipi), cared for the Ancestors for

many years and advocated for the establishment of dedicated

funding for the rematriation/repatriation of Ancestors and

belongings. In 2022, the Museum’s Board of Governors committed

to correcting this historic injustice, acknowledging that bringing

the Ancestors home was long overdue, and began the

Homeward Journey.

Homeward Journey

A small but dedicated team of Museum staff are compiling

all associated documents for the Ancestors and belongings

to prepare them for their journey home. This work involves

learning as much as possible about how the Ancestors came

into the Museum and identifying where they came from, in

order to connect with the appropriate kinship community

(or communities, in many instances) to help with their

return. This important work will take several years and

will be led by First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, in

preparation for, during, and after the Ancestors’ return.

It is anticipated that dedicated community meetings

and regional roundtable discussions will begin in late

Spring 2026 and will continue until all Ancestors and

belongings are returned home.

2025–2026 ANNUAL REPORT

PIAPOT BELONGINGS REPATRIATION

The 19 belongings included ceremonial pipes,

a drum, an eagle fan, medicine pouches, as well

as gifts from Chief Piapot to the minister who

conducted his daughter’s marriage ceremony.

These came into the Museum’s care via three

separate donors, two of whom had donated to

previous collections/museums that would later

become part of the Manitoba Museum.

Dr. Amelia Fay, then Curator of Anthropology

& the HBC Museum Collection, was pleased to

work with community representatives from Piapot

First Nation, Barb Lavallee and Nadine Obey, to

coordinate this historic repatriation and ensure

guidance and protocols from Elders and Spiritual

Leaders were followed in tandem with the

Museum’s policies and procedures.

The official transfer took place at the Museum in August, with a delegation of Spiritual

Leaders, Chief Mark Fox and several Councilors, and other community members from

Piapot First Nation picking up the belongings and transporting them back home.

On September 9th, Dr. Fay attended the Treaty 4 event and homecoming of the

belongings at Piapot First Nation, alongside Dorota Blumczyńska, CEO, and

Tabitha Harper, Museum Advisor for Indigenous Relations & Reconciliation.

This past summer, the Museum completed its largest

repatriation by returning 19 belongings to Piapot First Nation

in Saskatchewan in time for their celebration of the

150th anniversary of the signing of Treaty 4.

Repatriation at the

Manitoba Museum

The Manitoba Museum’s repatriation

policy was first established in 2007,

and has been regularly updated and

revised in the years since. Informing

the policy are documents such as the

Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s

(TRC) Calls to Action and the United

Nations Declaration on the Rights of

Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), as well

as discussions with the Indigenous

Advisory Circle to the Museum.

All requests for repatriation

are welcome; the Museum

team approaches this work as a

community-led practice, where

community values and needs

are prioritized and integrated

throughout the process.

MANITOBA MUSEUM

HBC ROYAL CHARTER

ACQUISITION

HBC Royal Charter History

The HBC Royal Charter was issued by King Charles II in 1670,

granting exclusive land, trading, and exploration rights of the

entire Hudson Bay watershed to the Governor and Company of

Adventurers Trading into Hudson Bay, later known as the Hudson’s

Bay Company, or HBC. This area represents 3.9 million square

kilometres, or roughly one-third of what is now called Canada.

King Charles II and other monarchs justified these claims through

two principles presented by Pope Alexander VI in 1493: the

doctrine of discovery and terra nullius — the belief that lands

inhabited by non-Christians, like the Americas, were ‘vacant’ or

‘unoccupied’ and free to be ‘discovered’ and claimed. Today, these

ideas and principles are rightfully being challenged and questioned.

With the Charter in place, the Hudson’s Bay Company occupied

Rupert’s Land and beyond for 200 years for their trade activities.

The success of the Company relied on the relationships they built

with First Nations and, later, with Inuit and Métis communities.

The Company had no interest in governing the local Indigenous

communities or the European settlers. Given the focus of the

Charter on trade concerns, HBC signed over the majority of

their land rights to what would become Canada for £300,000 —

a transaction that took effect in 1870.

HBC’s Decline

In early 2025, HBC made news by filing for creditor

protection, but their financial constraints proved

too great, and the Company officially dissolved and

divested its assets. This included the HBC Royal

Charter itself, as well as HBC’s corporate collection

of artifacts and artworks, news of which sparked significant

outcry from heritage professionals and Indigenous communities.

While auctions for the artifact and art collection are ongoing

as of this printing, the HBC Royal Charter itself became subject

to a number of competing bids to ensure it remained publicly

accessible in a reputable museum or archive in Canada.

Through their respective holding companies, ultimately a joint

bid by the Weston family and David Thomson was accepted,

and the four institutions were named co-stewards of this

nationally significant document. Together with the Consortium,

the Manitoba Museum is a co-custodian on behalf of all

Canadians, tasked with the responsibility of undertaking

a national conversation on its future.

Looking Ahead

As home to the nationally significant HBC Museum Collection,

the Manitoba Museum is excited to work with its Consortium

partners to share this part of the Company’s history with visitors

and engage in meaningful discussions regarding its interpretation

as part of Canada’s colonial history.

In December 2025, the Manitoba Museum

was honoured to be one of four public institutions

named part of a Consortium, also including the

Archives of Manitoba, the Canadian Museum

of History, and the Royal Ontario Museum,

to become the legal custodians of the Hudson’s

Bay Company Royal Charter.

2025–2026 ANNUAL REPORT

Anishinaabemowin with Amik is an online

language literacy game designed to support

Anishinaabe language learning, launched in

mid-2025 to hugely positive community

response, with hundreds of monthly users.

Developed over 18 months, the game features

21 animals – some of which are represented in

the Museum Galleries – creating opportunities

for real-world connection. Illustrations were

created by Anishinaabe artist Micaela Gilbert,

and audio for the game was recorded by fluent speaker

Carol Beaulieu, the Museum’s Indigenous Protocols Advisor.

The Learning & Engagement team partnered with the Exhibitions

team to integrate the game into gallery spaces through QR codes.

Since launching, the game has received over 3,000 views, with

gallery QR codes scanned more than 200 times.

A new Valentine’s Day event introduced

this year was exceptionally well-received.

Ode’imin: A Berry Sweet Paint Event

featured Anishinaabe ode’imin (strawberry)

teachings from Elder Cheryl Alexander,

strawberry-inspired painting with artist

Dawn Chartrand (with support from friend

and artist Cheryl Dreaver), a gallery tour, and a

behind-the-scenes visit with Norval Morrisseau

works as well as ancestral beadwork. The event

brought together couples, friends, and families

for an evening of creativity, music, food, and

laughter. By the end of the evening, participants

expressed gratitude for an event that celebrated the joy and love

that have always existed, and continue to exist, within Indigenous

communities, while offering a brief reprieve from the ongoing

trauma and turmoil that many continue to face.

The now annual Bead-A-Thon Fundraising Event has continued

to be a tremendous gathering, drawing nearly 300 attendees and

fostering meaningful community connections. People from across

Manitoba enjoyed a day of beading, sharing stories, and learning

from a talented group of volunteer Beading Buddies. The success

of this event would not have been possible without host Gloria

Beckman, along with Amy McPherson,

Beth Hall, Brooke Buchan, Chanwanpe

Shields, Cheyenne Schlup, Claire

Johnston, Hailey Ward, Hannah

Copenace, Lana Gaywish, Lily

Gautron, Lucy Lindell, Shannon

Kraichy, and Tammy Wolfe.

Together, the community raised

over $10,000 for the Museum.

Since its introduction to the Planetarium line-up, Wilfred Buck’s

STAR STORIES continues to be a popular show. Visitors frequently

praise its accessible format, noting how the stories invite a deeper

understanding of the stars and universe, while strengthening ties

to the land and all of creation. Many draw meaningful connections

between astrophysics and the ancestral knowledge that Wilfred

Buck shares, and some have expressed interest in seeing a stronger

emphasis on Indigenous star knowledge from nations across

Turtle Island within Museum programming.

In honour of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the

Museum hosted Orange Shirt Days – three days of complimentary

admission and special programming. Throughout these important

days, more than 9,000 visitors of various backgrounds and ages

walked through the doors, all with open minds and open hearts.

Special programming highlighted various permanent exhibits

connected to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls

to Action, extended content on

the history of Indian Residential

Schools, and amplified

Indigenous voices as part of

ongoing community dialogue

about Truth and Reconciliation.

CELEBRATING INDIGENOUS

CONNECTIONS

The Manitoba Museum continues to deepen its

commitment to Indigenous engagement through

programming grounded in relationship building,

cultural knowledge, and community collaboration.

Over the past year, a diverse range of initiatives

has created meaningful opportunities for visitors

to learn from Indigenous voices, celebrate

Indigenous creativity, and explore connections

between traditional knowledge and contemporary

experiences. From language revitalization tools

and hands-on cultural events to storytelling

in the Planetarium and community-centred

commemorations, these programs reflect a

growing, holistic approach to Indigenous learning

that honours lived experience, fosters dialogue,

and supports ongoing reconciliation.

Building Community — Engaging Curiosity — Finding Belonging

From April 2025 until March 2026, First Fridays at the Manitoba Museum welcomed more than 34,000 visitors, demonstrating the

transformative power of removing financial barriers to access.

Thanks to community partner Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, this special programming takes place on the first Friday of every month, offering

complimentary evening access to the Museum Galleries, Science Gallery, and Planetarium, creating a welcoming space for families, students,

newcomers, seniors, and first-time visitors. Each month, the Museum becomes a gathering place where curiosity is sparked, stories are

shared, and connections are formed completely free of charge.

Building Community

Through community-driven programming and partnerships,

First Fridays amplify diverse voices and lived experiences.

This year, cultural celebrations tied to Asian Heritage Month

and Black History Month, as well as Indigenous-led exhibitions like

I Belong Here, ensured Manitobans could see themselves reflected

in the Museum. Collaborations with community organizations,

researchers, and cultural leaders brought dialogue, music, art,

food, and storytelling into the galleries, turning visits into

shared experiences.

Engaging Curiosity

Hands-on learning is central to every

First Friday. Visitors of all ages examined

specimens in palaeontology pop-ups,

explored university-led research through

Living Laboratory, experimented in the

Science Gallery, and experienced live

Planetarium shows that connected

Manitoba skies to the universe.

These informal, drop-in activities invite

participation without intimidation,

reaffirming that learning is for everyone.

Finding Belonging

First Fridays exemplify the Museum’s

Access for All commitment: that access

should never be limited, and everyone

should feel welcome. By removing

financial barriers and prioritizing

representation and accessibility, the

Museum encourages a sense of belonging

for thousands of visitors. Attendance

numbers reflect not only interest, but

trust that the Museum is a place where

all Manitobans belong.

Through the generous support of

Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, First Fridays

continue to be a powerful expression of

the Museum’s mission: celebrating shared

humanity, inspiring personal discovery,

and expanding an understanding

of the universe, together.

2025–2026 ANNUAL REPORT

Thanks to the generous supporters of the Museum’s Access School

Programs fund, as well as sponsors and grant funders, barriers were

eliminated for schools across the province, allowing 3,086 students

from across Manitoba to experience the Museum’s unique

educational offerings. These funds supported program fees

and tailored learning experiences for students who might

not otherwise have had the opportunity to visit.

In addition to the 50 on-site

(28 offerts en langue française)

and 19 virtual (8 offerts en langue

française) curriculum-based

programs on offer, the Museum

hosted several special events for

school groups, including Climate/

Biodiversity Takeover Days,

World Water Day, and the newly

conceived Ultimate Field Trip.

The Ultimate Field Trip package launched in May 2025, designed

to better meet end-of-year field trip demand. Available in both

English and French, the package included an Ultimate Science

demonstration, showcasing experiments with the biggest WOW

factor, a live Ultimate Universe show in the Planetarium covering

the Universe’s greatest hits, from constellations and planets

to black holes and aliens, and Ultimate Adventure visits to the

Science and Museum Galleries to explore hands-on exhibits

and Manitoba’s natural and human histories.

In early 2026, 1,048 students

took part in three Climate/

Biodiversity Takeover Days,

an initiative geared to providing

access to climate-focused

STEM programming for

equity-deserving youth – in

particular, Indigenous youth,

racialized youth, girls, and

newcomers to Canada. The day

included a viewing of the new

Planetarium show Living

Worlds, time in the Science Gallery focusing on the Lake Winnipeg:

Shared Solutions simulator, and hands-on pop-up activities

throughout the Museum Galleries along a special Biodiversity Trail.

In partnership with Science First, the Manitoba Museum hosted

its annual World Water Day youth event, Making a Splash, in

March 2026. More than 50 grade 6-12 students and educators

from schools across Winnipeg came together for a day of learning,

with a focus on water-related challenges and opportunities,

emphasizing youth engagement and leadership.

MANITOBA’S LARGEST

CLASSROOM

Led by professional Learning & Engagement staff,

school programs go beyond the set curriculum, sparking

curiosity and nurturing a deep appreciation for Manitoba’s

cultural and natural heritage, science, and the universe.

In 2025-2026, the Manitoba Museum provided

exceptional educational experiences for 69,161 program

participants from kindergarten to grade 12 at the Museum,

and an additional 2,117 students virtually.

Cat Head is a distinctive band

of rocky cliffs on the western

shore of Lake Winnipeg,

remarkable for its preservation

of soft-bodied marine organisms

from the late Ordovician Period,

about 450 million years ago. In

spite of its long history of study,

the remoteness of the site has meant limited museum collections,

and key questions remain about how and why these unique

fossils are preserved here.

To advance and share knowledge of the fossils and

ancient environmental conditions at Cat Head, the Museum’s

palaeontology team embarked on a fieldwork and relationship-

building journey in Summer 2025. The field team consisted

of Dr. Joe Moysiuk (Curator of Palaeontology and Geology),

Tabitha Harper (Museum Advisor on Indigenous Relations

and Reconciliation), Urgon Snider (Museum Mitacs Student

Associate), David Wright (volunteer), Dr. Ricardo Silva (University

of Manitoba), and Dr. Colin Sproat (University of Saskatchewan).

As part of a relationship-building process with Kinonjeoshtegon

First Nation, a community located approximately 25 km

southwest of Cat Head, the team organized sessions with

KFN Elders and leadership, leaders of KFN Jordan’s Principle,

and the broader community to explore opportunities for

reciprocal learning and engagement, including sharing Museum

specimens at the KFN Treaty Day Health Fair. Following strong

community interest and support, the field team was able to

visit Cat Head in July 2025.

During the initial trip, discoveries

included probable new species of

fossil seaweeds and sponges,

plus several first records for the

site. In addition to collecting

fossil and rock specimens and

recording data, the team also led

a day trip for members of KFN

Jordan’s Principle Youth Camp to

the field site, including about

twenty kids and their counsellors. Together, the group had the

opportunity to view fossils in place and explore the intersections

of science and traditional knowledge.

An especially spectacular find was a large fossil surface

containing numerous rare, articulated crinoids (“sea lilies”) and

other bottom-dwelling invertebrates, which had tumbled from near

the top of the cliffs during a recent rockfall. With support from KFN,

as well as Fisher River Cree Nation and McBeth Fisheries, the field

team returned in October 2025, braving the stormy autumn

weather to collect part of this surface. The team spent two days

jacketing and extracting the block for transport. With assistance

from Prairie Helicopters, the 700 lb block was lifted from the shore

to KFN, and transported by truck to the Museum, where it will be

prepared, studied, and eventually displayed.

In all, this fieldwork resulted in the collection of 100 new fossil

specimens as well as more than 50 rock samples, which are being

used to produce thin sections and for microfossil analysis. Initial

results of community engagement and scientific aspects of the

project will be presented at the upcoming Geological Association

of Canada – Mineralogical Association of Canada conference

in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

Nonsuch and Winnipeg 1920 Gallery

Video Tours

To address physical access barriers in our galleries, the Museum

developed curator-led video tours of areas that may be difficult

to navigate, including the Winnipeg 1920 Gallery and the Nonsuch.

Narrated by curators Dr. Roland Sawatzky and Dr. Amelia Fay, these

videos guide viewers through the spaces while highlighting unique

historical details.

Quiet Room

In Summer 2025, the Museum opened

a designated Quiet Room for visitors

who benefit from a calm, low-stimulus

environment. Located near the Prairies

Gallery, the room includes seating,

adjustable lighting, sensory tools, and

reading materials to support regulation

and decompression.

Aira Explorer

In December 2025, the Museum

soft-launched Aira Explorer,

an app that connects blind

and low-vision visitors with

professional visual interpreters

in real time. Using their mobile

devices, visitors receive support

with navigation, exhibit text, and

environmental descriptions to

enable a more independent visit.

Website Accessibility

As part of the audit recommendations, the Museum

completed a website accessibility review and implemented

usability improvements. A visible accessibility add-in on

manitobamuseum.ca now allows visitors to customize navigation

and display settings without affecting the site’s overall design.

Sensory Sundays

In January 2026, the Museum launched Sensory Sundays to offer a

quieter, sensory friendly gallery experience. Held on the first Sunday

of each month from 10 am to 12 pm, sound levels are reduced,

lighting is adjusted, and Quiet Rooms are available.

Staff Training

The Museum prioritized accessibility improvements for staff

through targeted learning sessions on accessibility awareness,

reasonable accommodations, and inclusive practices.

Building Accessibility

and Wayfinding Upgrades

As one of the most

impactful accessibility

enhancements, the

Museum introduced

illuminated wayfinding

arrows throughout the

galleries to support

clearer navigation

for all visitors. These

updates align with

major building

improvements, including renovations to

the Rupert Avenue entrance, scheduled

for completion in the summer.

ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS

AT THE MUSEUM

Over the past year, the Manitoba Museum made

significant progress in accessibility, guided by

a five-year accessibility roadmap developed

by Peter Tonge Consulting and supported by

a grant from the Government of Manitoba.

“Aira levels the playing field for persons who are blind

to enjoy the Museum, especially when travelling alone.

Aira provides the assistance to allow the person with no

vision to not only navigate the Museum safely, but also

allows the visitor to focus on the [Museum exhibits]

rather than getting from point A to point B.”

The purpose of this book project

was to replace the out-of-date Flora

of Manitoba, published in 1957, with

a new resource containing updated

information. Since the 1950s,

botanists have documented the

presence of over 300 additional

species of vascular plants in Manitoba. In Volume 1,

129 of these new species are described. Volume 1 includes

all the spore-producing plants (e.g. clubmosses, ferns,

horsetails, etc.), cone-producing plants (i.e. conifers), and

flower-producing monocots (e.g. grasses, sedges, orchids,

lilies, etc.). Work on Volume 2, which will contain all the dicots

(e.g. broad-leaved woody plants, asters, roses, etc.), has

already begun, and will be published a few years from now.

It is the Museum’s hope that this new publication will make

it easier for students, professional botanists, landowners,

foresters, gardeners, and plant enthusiasts to identify

and appreciate the flora of the province.

For the overall project, years of rare plant surveys were

conducted by Dr. Diana Bizecki Robson, Curator of Botany,

on Indigenous reserves, Nature Conservancy properties,

and Crown- and privately-owned land.

Dr. Robson documented

245 new populations

of rare plants, including

several species scientists

did not know grew in

Manitoba. Along with

a team of volunteer

botanists, including

long-time volunteer

Jackie Krindle, she also

spent years intensely

studying nearly 14,000

preserved plant specimens

in the Museum’s collection. During

this research, the team discovered

that over a third of these specimens

were either newly recognized species,

incorrectly identified, or labeled

with out-of-date scientific names.

As an act of reconciliation, Elder

Shirli Ewanchuk/Black Thunderbird

graciously shared some of her

knowledge in the book’s foreword

regarding Indigenous relationships with the plant world and plant

harvesting protocols. Indigenous names for many culturally

important plant species were also included to make the book

more useful for Indigenous communities.

The official book launch was held at

the Museum on November 22, 2025.

After presentations by the authors

and a lively Q&A, participants had the

opportunity to get their book signed

by the author and enjoy refreshments

and conversation. Copies of the book

are available to purchase at the

Museum Shop, as well as through

various local and online book sellers,

including FriesenPress and

McNally Robinson.

MANITOBA FLORA

PUBLICATION & BOOK LAUNCH

In Fall 2025, the Museum published a book that

was over a decade in the making. Volume 1 of

Manitoba Flora: A Guide to the Vascular Plants

of Manitoba, describes 614 of the most abundant

vascular plant species in the province. With the

forthcoming completion of Volume 2, the Manitoba

Flora series will contain detailed descriptions,

illustrations, and identification keys for all 1,706

native and naturalized vascular plant species

known to occur in the province.

Manitoba Flora, Vol. 1

is now the essential guide

to plant identification

in the province.

author at the book launch.

Scientists did not know that the

spectacular Small Purple-Fringed

Orchid (Platanthera psycodes)

grew in Manitoba until 1983.

Field work to search for rare plants was

an essential component of the book research.
