Host a Canadian Conservation Institute Workshop

 

The Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) offers workshops for heritage organizations and associations both within Canada and internationally. Their goal is to help institutions build capacity in preserving and conserving the objects in their collections. 

Your institution or association is invited to submit an application to host a CCI workshop in your region for the 2012-13 fiscal year (April 1, 2012 – March 31, 2013). Details about the workshops can be found at; www.cci-icc.gc.ca.  The cost to host the workshop is $500.00 and there are two available workshops for the British Columbia – Alberta region.

In addition, two regional workshops are available each year for Aboriginal communities and organizations. 

The Canadian Conservation Institute is committed to the ongoing development of specific modules based on expressed community needs, demand and research.  They hope that the support within the workshops will serve as valuable reference tools for participants when they return to their working environments.
