Sydney Belluz

Sydney grew up surrounded by the historic buildings of the McKellar neighbourhood and attended Westgate CVI, where she was inspired by her teachers to pursue a career in history. Sydney attended Lakehead University and studied archaeology and Earth sciences. In 2017, she attended a year-long immersive Museum Management and Curatorship program at Fleming College, which concluded with an internship and research paper. Sydney applied to Halton Region Heritage Services in Milton, Ontario, for her internship as she had an interest in exhibit fabrication and heritage services. Sydney completed her internship and continued working at HRHS as a Collections Assistant, where she built her collections and exhibition development skills.

Sydney started volunteering for the Thunder Bay Museum in 2017 by researching and writing articles, and again when she returned to Thunder Bay in December 2019, where she spent her time cataloguing. Since February 2020, Sydney has worked in various roles at the Thunder Bay Museum.
