Virtual Exhibits Investment Program – Post-Launch Activities and Opportunities

After the launch of your exhibit, there are ongoing activities and opportunities.

Post-Launch Activities

• Conduct quarterly verifications of all hyperlinks including the data and correct as required.

  Note: Please inform the Investment Programs of any corrections made to your exhibit in development so that CHIN’s technical team can move them into production.

• Respond to public feedback.
• Gather and View Web Statistics

Opportunities for Further Funding

There are two ways to receive further funding for your launched Virtual Exhibits Investment Program exhibit or interactive resource:

1. Minor updates

For existing VMC products in which there is an interest in making minor updates to the content or the technical functionality of the production (a ceiling of $25,000, plus GST/HST applies), the VMC will consider additional investment in these products at the time of their contract renewal. A modification proposal must be submitted to the program by email to invest.programme-ex@pch.gc.ca.

2. Major updates

For major updates (over $25,000, plus GST/HST) to any existing productions in which the VMC has previously invested, a new proposal must be submitted for review to the VMC Editorial Board during a Call for Proposals period.
