Volunteers make it happen!
The Galt Museum & Archives is a thriving institution, what we offer and who we are could not be done without the help of volunteers! Every area of the Galt is assisted by volunteers at some point during the year, if not on a daily basis. Just before our expansion project and 16-month closure [September 2005-May 2006] more than 200 volunteers donated nearly 8000 hours in one year!
