DISCUSSION OF THE SITE
It was suggested that the Museum Board look into the
possibility of acquiring more land to the west of Duffin's
Creek, one of the reasons for this was to accommodate
structures such as the Windmill which would not fit
very well into the present available location. It was
agreed that Metro Toronto be approached concerning the
land to the west of the ~oposed site. General background
information was made available to the members in terms
of the various sites which the Museum Board investigated
before arriving at the choice of the Greenwood Site.
The Committee commented favour ably on the fact that the
Museum Board is proposing to engage a planning consultant
in preparing the new site.
Mr. G. Shewan suggested that the Museum could be set up
on a new basis. He proposed a new idea for a museum w~reby
the Museum is actively used. The actual operation could
be on a concessionary basis. He proposed a rebirth of
everything that was good in the old days.
'OTHER BUSINESS
a) Mr. D. McLean thanked everyone for coming on behalf of
the Museum Board. He was very happy to see the interest
and enthusiasm expressed and for any contributions
which they may give to the Pickering Museum.
It was suggested that the next agenda should provide
for further discussion of the Theme for the Museum.
