The Canadian Museums Association, in partnership with the Canadian War Museum, presented the first Canadian Cultural Property Protection Conference in January 2006.

Museums, and related institutions, protect our cultural heritage. They provide for the long-term care and safety of our collective heritage while protecting employees, visitors, and facilities. With an increase in organized art crime, terrorist activities, natural disasters, and internal theft, what is the best course of action for ensuring the safety of the collections, the people, and the building?

Directors, Facilities Managers, and Museum Security Professionals came together for this two-day conference, which presented an exciting opportunity to learn from sessions led by experts, to exchange knowledge and experience with peers, and to investigate the latest tools and strategies in museum security.
