The Goulbourn Museum has received an $8,333 donation from the Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group.
The Goulbourn Museum is one of three rural Ottawa museums to evenly share a $25,000 donation. The other two museums that also received $8,333 donations from Commonwell are Watson’s Mill in Manotick and the Osgoode Township Museum in Vernon.
Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group has a philanthropic funding program called Create a Ripple Effect (CARE), which is directed at children, health-care efforts and safety.
In celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday this year, Commonwell decided to donate to local museums, especially those who offer outreach programs and bring the history of Canada to the people.
