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, including GST/HST applies), the VMC will consider additional investment in these products at the time of their contract renewal (or within the six months prior to the expiration date of the product). 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, including 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.
