Mandate Statement

Vision
The Ontario Museum Association believes that museums are an integral and essential
component of the cultural, social and economic fabric of the Province
of Ontario where all peoples have access to knowledge and appreciation
of, as well as participation in, heritage. Museums enrich the lives
of individuals, creating better communities in which to live and
work. The Association's role is to enhance the mission of museums
as significant cultural resources in the service of Ontario society
and its development.
