"We are pleased to provide funding to the Stratford Perth Museum, an important local institution that celebrates the rich military and cultural heritage of our community. This funding will ensure that the Museum will continue to tell the stories of the people who lived in and built our region."

"When we were awarded the Anne Frank House exhibit, we committed to two significant improvements. One was that the Museum have complete coverage by security cameras; two, that we create a theatre space where the Anne Frank documentary that accompanies the exhibit can be shown and where we can present our speakers'' series. The World War commemoration project will enable the Museum to develop a far more robust Perth Regiment exhibit. What''s most exciting will be the creation of a digital collection of stories from people who were part of the Perth Regiment or benefitted so greatly from their efforts. The funding provided by the Government of Canada will help to further transform the Stratford Perth Museum."
-John Kastner, General Manager, Stratford Perth Museum
