Public Consultation on Canadian Human Rights Museum

This is a follow-up to the Library Boy post of February 12, 2008 entitled Legislation Introduced to Create Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

As part of the process to create a new federally funded museum in Winnipeg devoted to human rights issues, the Canadian government has launched a consultation on the proposed content of the institution which is open to members of the public. People have until March 15, 2008 to share their ideas and recommendations.

"Information gathered through this consultation will be used by the Minister’s Advisory Committee for the CMHR as the basis for its recommendations, which will be provided to the future Board of Trustees of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights to assist its decision-making on the content and programming of the museum."
