Thank you Sponsors for Supporting Our Renovation Campaign!

Sept. 24, 2018

It’s been a busy year at Ogniwo Polish Museum, upgrade-wise. Thanks to the support of our community and volunteers, we were finally able to tackle some much-needed renovations! We paved the parking lot behind the building – which will make it so much easier to shovel once the Winnipeg winter hits. We have also begun the process of upgrading our lighting to LED with the help of the Thomas Sill Foundation.

Finally, with the hard work of our volunteers, we also built a new and more robust back doorstep, and added some security features to help protect our building and artefacts.

The back lot, before paving. Gravel and weeds aplenty!

New LED lighting helps modernize our interior and makes our exhibits shine!
Dennis and Christine Tabbernor dedicated many hours to building the new back steps!
