Hello all, due to illness, Museums Unplugged... event has been cancelled. Should you wish more information, please do not hesitate to contact KAM Staff info@kingstonmuseums.ca In 2019 our staff decided to make a shift back to the basics, uncomplicating the museum experience. Unplugging our programs and offering hands on immersive opportunities for all ages; the change made an astounding impact for the better. Then, COVID. As an industry we were forced to switch to digital or run the risk of being forgotten. Going against everything we had just worked so hard to develop, we had to make it work in our own way. It was messy at first but we dreamed big, we planned things that would never have been possible in person and let me tell you, the results were amazing!Join us for a conversation about being forced to ask hard questions about who we were as a community space and really dive deep to answer them has allowed us to redefine the meaning of successful programing in the best possible way.Facilitator - Amber Meyer, Program Coordinator, Museum of Lennox & Addington Amber joined the team at the Museum of Lennox and Addington 5 years ago as the Program Coordinator. Using her previous experience in teaching and management, she has worked closely with Museum and Archives staff to develop a programming plan that has reached participants across Canada, the United States and Europe. She spends her days planning and facilitating all public programs, educational programs, community outreach and partnership opportunities.

Outside of work, Amber is a mom to four busy boys and can either be found cheering loudly at the hockey rink, curling arena or baseball diamond, and loves spending time outdoors adventuring and making memories in every moment.
