How you can help re-create the Café
as the Royal Alexandra Hall

(Visual Progress On-line)

A visit to the museum website at www.trainsdeluxe.com illustrates what the museum is about, and what it has accomplished since 1976. The restoration of this large room, in relation to the restoration work already undertaken at the museum since 1977, is not daunting to the museum - but it is expensive, and fund raising is essential to completing the room.

Those people, groups, or businesses who appreciate heritage Canadian architecture, can help fund the final restoration by donation, or through estate planning and wills. Donations of old photographs, printed material, and memories of visits to the "café " is yet another way to help the interpretation.

For instance, residents of Winnipeg, who remember this special room, are a part of its history with a special place in its story, and the museum hopes to hear from many of them.

The museum is run by the Cranbrook Archives, Museum, and Landmark (CAMAL) Foundation, which is a registered charity, therefore donations are income tax deductible.
