Join us tomorrow night from 5 - 6:30 p.m. for our final Museum BBQ of the season! 🍔🎶

We’re ending the summer on a high note with Bortis Family and Friends providing the entertainment!

As always, $10 gets you a cheeseburger, drink, and ice cream treat - but we’re adding a few extra goodies for our final night! Our volunteers will be firing up the outdoor oven and serving fresh samples of bread, cinnamon buns, and pizza for just $2 each. 🍞🍕😋

Come on out, enjoy some great food and live music, and help us wrap up another wonderful BBQ season!

Where has the summer gone? ☀️

Friday was a sad day at the museum as we said farewell to our wonderful summer students. Thank you, Anastasia, Caitlyn, Jorja, Micayla, and Sarah, for all of your hard work, enthusiasm, and energy this summer!

They were involved in just about every part of museum life. A few of the highlights included:

• Providing guided tours for school and community groups
• Planning and leading our Time Warp Children’s Programming
• Helping with community events, including National Indigenous Peoples Day, Canada Day, Fair Days, and our weekly BBQs
• Conducting research and interviews for the Treaty Walk Project
• Helping care for and document our museum collection
• Taking care of our buildings and grounds

We are so grateful for everything you contributed to the museum this summer. Good luck as you head back to university - we miss you already! ❤️

A huge thank you to our summer students who planned and led the fun weekly sessions, and to the 75 kids who joined us throughout the summer. We loved seeing everyone at the museum and hope to see you next year!

We are so fortunate to have such wonderful community support! 💛

A big thank you to Terry Lynn Bouvier for initiating a fabulous community quilting project at the museum. She brought the quilt in and invited museum visitors and staff to try their hand at stitching, giving people a chance to contribute to this special community project.

And now, look at the finished quilt! Isn’t it fabulous? 🧵🪡

Thank you, Terry Lynn, for sharing your talents and creating such a fun, hands-on experience for our visitors!
