Thanks for your donations!

Published: 27 May 2020

The McGill 24 Seeds of Change project to create a Virtual Fossil and Dinosaur kit closed at midnight on May 26, 2020, and raised $2,069.78 from 9 donations (including $290 in McGill24 Matching Funds).

Thank you so much for your support!  This funding lets us continue our ongoing work to develop and create more e- resources for teachers and children everywhere to learn about the amazing world of fossils and Mesozoic dinosaurs. While some of our fossils are used for research by global experts (see the recent article about former Museum graduate student Alex Dececchi's work on T. rex here), many more of them have stories of historical intrigue and paleontological importance that resonate with the teaching community and the general public!

With your generous support we will continue to build and share those stories to make them accessible and fun at home for everyone every day.

Land Acknowledgement

McGill University is on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous peoples whose presence marks this territory on which peoples of the world now gather.


Rematriation, Repatriation and Restitution Statement

We acknowledge that the return and restitution of cultural and natural heritage to communities of origin is an essential part of reconciliation and of recognizing the fundamental rights of Indigenous Peoples. As part of wider efforts to activate the standards presented in the Canadian Museums Association Report Moved to Action: Activating UNDRIP in Canadian Museums (2022), the Redpath is working towards pro-active restitution practices. As per our Collections Management Policy (2024), repatriation requests will be received by the Redpath Museum Director and will be treated on a case-by-case basis.
