Hi Richard, I'm not sure how effective it might be, but dropping a quick email to the Mayor and the seven councillors who voted against the motion to acquire the property from the Federal government upon which the museum sits would be greatly appreciated. I think it is important to remind them that the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston has a much broader constituency than just Kingston. Emails from far afield might emphasise that. The New Age of Sail exhibit, the founding of the Canadian Sailing Hall of Fame, and the preservation of the history of recreational sailing in Canada and the Great Lakes are all initiatives in which the Marine Museum has been involved. Just letting them know that "the whole world is watching" might be very beneficial!
