YPC Member Spotlight: Jeffrey Sax
I’m just starting my 10th year as a member of ROM YPC and what keeps me renewing are the other members. Toronto is often (in my experience) referred to as a cold city where it's difficult to make new friends, and while it might have taken the better part of my first year to get past my

A Man with a (Retirement) Plan
An afternoon exploring a favourite gallery, a long lunch at the café, a stroll through Philosopher’s Walk – these are some of the things Swee Goh and his late wife, Lilian, enjoyed most about ROM. Upon retiring to Toronto, they lived across the street from the Museum and decided to get to know

Every now and then, a decision comes along that just makes perfect sense. For Claude Tambu, supporting ROM was one of those rare occasions. He joined ROM’s Young Patrons Circle (YPC) upon learning it would cost less monthly than a single visit with his nephew, was largely tax-deductible, and
