The Museums Association of Saskatchewan (MAS) is pleased to announce the second instalment of the MAS Reading Group. Join us on Zoom, where members, led by MAS staff, are given a weekly forum to discuss and share commentary and experiences related to the material.
The MAS Reading Group will focus on a single book/resource at a time, with each session focusing on a selected section of the assigned materials. There will be a two-week period between sessions. In each session we will hold an open forum discussion, share the content, additional resources, and discuss how to apply them to member institutions’ policies and practices.
Registration is required. You may register for any session at any time, but it is recommended you read the relevant section of material prior to the session you are attending. You will be provided with any additional resources and materials addressed following each session.
For our second instalment, we will be reading the Canadian Museums Association’s (CMA) Moved to Action resource: Small Museums Handbook.

This workbook is designed to provide guidance to support Indigenous self-determination where only one or a few are taking on this work.
