to use digital resources to enhance the ability of the Museum to fulfil its mandate to preserve and communicate The Loyal Edmonton Regiment's history;
to help Canadians to understand the importance of our military history;
to develop educational materials about Canada's military history specifically for young children;
to nurture a special relationship with Edmonton's L'Académie Vimy Ridge Academy, which emphasises the teaching of military history;
to develop closer relations with other museums in Canada by consulting with the larger museum community and sharing out experiences in creating this important digital resource; and
