CENTENARY OF MUSEUM
Co-ordinated Planning
The Canterbury Museum Trust Board on Thursday set up a steering committee to coordinate fund raising, building planning, and celebrations for the museum’s centennial to begin in 1970. The museum is using the term “hundredth anniversary” to save confusion with the centennial wing built as a Canterbury provincial centennial memorial.
The chairman (Mr G. C. C. Sandston) said the board’s finance and building committees had been working on their particular responsibilities but there was now need for a steering committee representing these two aspects, tow.i and country local bodies, and others to be co-opted.
Mr Sandston said the museum wished to commemorate its own centennial with a multi-storey addition which would be its last major extension, and with celebrations suitable to the occasion. From now, fund-raising, building, and celebrations should be planned as a whole. Messrs Sandston, F. W. Gilbert, J. C. Hollis, P. J. Skellerup, and A. M. Henderson were appointed to the steering committee with power to co-opt.
