The Annual General meeting was held on May 1st. Reports were given and elections took place, and then the promised Digital Tour of the Museum was shown. This feature was made available by CEDF - Look North with a grant from Canada's TRF Funding, working with K&M Consulting of Flin Flon.

Our long-time vice-president Dale Streamer announced his retirement from official duties. He has been with the Museum board through most of its history, and his efforts have been greatly appreciated. Thank you, Dale.

Barb Bragg has been elected as the new Vice-President.


Membership details here.

The museum has a wall of Family History booklets completed by many of the Cranberry Portage families and these are very popular to visitors. If you have not submitted yours, Family History Questionnaires are available from the Museum.

Over the years the Cranberry Portage Heritage Museum has received donations from individuals/businesses In Memory of a Loved One. These have been acknowledged on our Donations Page. The executive has now decided to separate these from the regular Donations and will be making up a new acknowledgement book and these donations will be posted yearly on our Website and Facebook page.


We are now set up for e-transfers to cphmuseum@gmail.com.

In the comment portion please provide us with your name, postal address, e-mail and/or phone # as well as indicate what your money is for: ie: memberships, general donations, or In Memory of ???. Receipts (if over $20.00) will be mailed to you for tax purposes.
