The Canadian Museum of History and the Canadian War Museum will cut 67 positions over the next three years as part of the federal government’s comprehensive expenditure review and to address its own “structural deficit.”

Spokesperson Avra Gibbs-Lemay confirms to CTV News Ottawa the museums’ permanent workforce will be reduced from 371 to 304 employees.

The museums of history and war are the only federal museums in the national capital region that have confirmed they will need to cut positions as part of the comprehensive expenditure review.

The Canadian Museum of Nature will not be required to cut staff.

A spokesperson for Ingenium said there are no planned job cuts at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, and Canada Science and Technology Museum.

According to a spokesperson, the National Arts Centre was exempted from the comprehensive expenditure review.
