Brandon’s Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum (CATPM) has appointed its first director general.
Zoe McQuinn started in the new position last week.
“It’s such an honour to be entrusted with keeping this place, shining it up and getting it as good as it can be,” McQuinn said in an interview Friday. “I am honoured and thrilled. Everyone here in this community is so driven with purpose.”

Her role will be to “outline our plan going forward for the next five, 10, 15 years,” she said.
It will include meeting with different levels of government to work on the centre’s redevelopment master plan. McQuinn said that will start with tackling structural issues the building is currently dealing with.
Another focus for her is to grow the reach of the museum, “to tell this really important story of Manitoba.”
McQuinn has worked for museums for more than two decades, most recently as the director of development for the Manitoba Museum. She worked at museums in Ontario and Egypt before coming to Manitoba.
CATPM president John McNarry said McQuinn will be valuable for the museum.
“Zoe brings an extraordinary blend of academic insight, international museum experience, and heartfelt community engagement,” McNarry said in a news release. “Her leadership marks an exciting new chapter for CATPM as we honour our past and build for the future.”
Stephen Hayter, the museum’s executive director, echoed that sentiment.
“Her passion for inclusive storytelling and her vision for revitalizing this important national historic site are exactly what we need as we move into a bold and inspiring new era for the museum.”
