CMA Membership
The Canadian Museum Association (CMA) is the voice for Canada’s vibrant museum community, from small, volunteer-driven organizations to cherished national institutions, and for the millions of Canadians whose lives are enriched by museums. Your support of the CMA, through your membership, helps us advocate for public policies and support, build skills across the profession, and establish and inspire connections to strengthen and sustain museums.
