Hey there, time traveller!

Winnipeg Art Gallery-Qaumajuq’s director and CEO Stephen Borys has been appointed to the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board (CCPERB).
The national board helps to ensure Canada’s cultural property is protected, preserved and made accessible to the public.
“I am honoured to be appointed to the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board,” Borys said in a release. “Thank you to the Governor General and the Minister of Heritage for entrusting me with this role. Protecting, preserving, and making cultural property accessible to everyone is a passion of mine and I am excited to advance such work in this new capacity.”
MIKAELA MACKENZIE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS WAG CEO Stephen Borys with some of ceramicist Robert Archambeau’s work on Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2024. Archambeau died last year, and several local art institutions (including the WAG) have organized sales of his work to help disperse some of the thousands of pieces of pottery left after his passing. For Eva story. Winnipeg Free Press 2024.
The board makes determinations with respect to the “outstanding significance and national importance” and the fair market value of objects or collections donated or sold to designated Canadian museums, art galleries, archives and libraries.
Borys, who is the only Prairie representative, will begin his four-year term effective Sunday. The role requires board members to balance competing interests between CCPERB objectives and the objectives of the Government of Canada.
Among his responsibilities are the promotion of inclusivity and systemic change to the structures and processes that have historically marginalized many Canadians.
Borys will also be expected to adopt environmental improvements that foster a sustainable future.
