Strategic Plan
As the role of museums and archives continues to evolve, organizations such as our own serve an important role in providing gathering places where history comes to life and community stories can be celebrated. At MONOVA, we go beyond preserving artifacts — we foster dialogue, connection, and understanding of the diverse voices that reflect North Vancouver’s vibrant communities.
With strengthened leadership, and a reinvigorated mission to inspire belonging with the communities we serve, MONOVA’s 2024-2027 Strategic Plan illustrates how we intend to be part of redefining the role of museums in the world today.
