Director
Trevor Osmond

​Trevor Osmond is an archaeologist and museum professional with extensive experience in the discovery, preservation, and display of Northern Ontario’s rich cultural history.  He holds an MSc (Arch.) degree from Bradford (England) University and an Advanced Diploma in Applied Museum Studies from Algonquin College (Ottawa).

In his tenure with the Heritage Centre he has successfully merged the disciplines of science and education to bring best practices to the Centre’s exhibits and programs, and to create a setting where children and families are welcomed to explore Red Lake’s past and present.

Since taking the the position of Director, Trevor has sought to increase the number of events, programs and exhibits each year. As a result the Heritage Centre's attendance has never been higher.
