The other buildings can be acquired and moved on a gradual basis as the buildings become available and funds are acquired. The question of the restoration of buildings was also raised. It was queried whether buildings should be restored to a very particular period or whether they should represent a period of growth development within a particular building, for instance a building may have been in use over a period of fifty years and features within the building may have been modified during this period. ,... ,...

It was also pointed out that ancilary buildings such as wood sheds, dog kennels, outhouses, etc., should be acquired when ever these become available either on the Airport site or in the North Pickering site. Another area of concern were the fácilities provided for school tours. It was indicated that there could be a separate bus entrance at the north-east corner of the property off Greenwood Road. It was furthermore pointed out that schools are having a greater participation in museums, such as projects, participation programmes, etc., which are beyond the scope of simple school tours. This type of participation should be taken into consideration when the plan is being developed. FURTHER BUSINESS 4. Letter from Mr. Martin A letter was received from Mr. Martin suggesting that a gift shop be established in the Museum for the purpose of selling goods produced locally. It was indicated that this idea is very attracti~e. However, several questions should be asked relative to this type of estabishment: a) about the demonstrator b) about the demonstration c) about the relationship of the demonstrator and demonstration to the actual building. MOTION 11/76 Moved by C.R. Purcell, seconded by D. McLean that the letter of Mr. Martin be received and filed for consideration and that the writer be advised that it was taken under consideration along with other requests. CARRIED NEXT MEETING 5.
