Another Westbank Museum To Receive Gov't Funding

As reported:

District provides Westbank Museum with additional $15K


But that museum is not in Judea or Samaria.

It's in British Columbia, Canada.

...After postponing an initial decision during the grants-in-aid process, the District of West Kelowna agreed to provide the Westbank Museum with an additional $15,465 to help them fund a full-time staff person with managerial experience.

The grant-in-aid request from the museum will be added to their existing contract with the district of $57,020 for 2012.

Margaret Jackson of the Westbank Musuem explained to district council why the museum needed the district’s help in attaining a qualified full-time manager to help out with the museum’s ambitious goals. “To go forward, the museum needs strong management leadership with diversified skill,” Jackson told council on Tuesday.

The district’s contribution will help the museum to be able to offer a paycheque that is “closer to industry standards,” according to Jackson.

Just saying you know.
