ICOM, the International Council of Museums, plays an essential role in the museum community around the world and in Canada. Acting as a national gateway, ICOM Canada members have access to a network of specialists. The new strategic plan adopted in Paris in June 2011 puts forth certain priorities. This case study discusses the need for concrete action in order to invite a new generation of participants and to strengthen the desire to foster the exchange of expertise equally between all countries.
