Volunteer

The 26th Field Regiment RCA/XII Manitoba Dragoons Museum is located in the Brandon Armoury and operates at the discretion of the Commanding Officer of the 26th Field Regiment RCA. The Museum is an accredited Canadian Military Museum.

Volunteers include the Museum board, the curator, the librarian, the researcher, the collections manager, display manager, IT coordinator, data entry personnel and the fund-raising organization Friends of the Museum Inc. (FOMI).

The Museum is open every Tuesday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. – closed over the noon hour. The Museum is also open for special occasions and by appointment.

The Museum is always interested in recruiting volunteers to help maintain and preserve the collection of artifacts, provide data entry, receive and record inventory, conduct tours, maintain a website, develop exhibits and aid in the fund-raising activities. Some computer, data entry, website management or exhibit creation skills would be helpful. No volunteers receive any remuneration.

While periodic volunteering is helpful, self-starting volunteers who can participate on a regular basis are desirable. Committed volunteers are also encouraged to participate in and to complete the Association of Manitoba Museum’s Certificate in Museum Practices program with financial sponsorship from FOMI.
