Canadian Heritage's Museum Assistance Program has provided more than $190,000 to the facility
The Métis Heritage Centre, the first of its kind in Ontario, has opened at 138 John St. in Sault Ste. Marie. The facility is a gathering space so that stories, history and culture of the Métis people will not be lost.
It is partially funded through the federal Department of Canadian Heritage's Museum Assistance Program, through which it has received over $190,000 to support the development of the Remembering the Powley Case Exhibit, and roughly $100,000 to support the development of the Heritage Centre Virtual Database. The Museums Assistance Program supports heritage institutions and workers in the preservation and presentation of heritage collections.
