MONCTON MUSEUM AND TRANSPORTATION DISCOVERY CENTRE
New Brunswick, 2003–04
The City of Moncton and the local CN Pensioners Association asked Lord Cultural Resources in association with A. L. Arbic Consulting of Halifax to conduct a Concept Development and Feasibility Study for a new museum dedicated to honouring the railway's contributions to the growth and development of the city. After conducting an extensive review of the institutional context, available collection resources, and potential market, Lord Cultural Resources recommended a Transportation Discovery Centre as part of the existing Moncton Museum as the most feasible option based on a business plan. The recommended concept was enthusiastically approved by the project Steering Committee and City Council and more detailed planning is ongoing in preparation for implementation.
