qMAS Quarterly

A quarterly newsletter with updates on museum ongoings and history tidbits!

May is Museum Month

For the month of May the qathet Museum & Archives is celebrating the various heritage institutions that reside within our region. We believe there is a transformational power held within heritage organizations that can assist in bettering our community through change. For the qathet Region, our organization has provided over 50 years of preservation of local history through volunteers and employees. Additionally, we collaborate with other organizations including the Forestry Heritage Society, Henderson House Living Museum, Townsite Heritage Society, Tla’amin Nation and the Texada Heritage Society and Museum to coninue preserving our heritage and provoke a bonded experience through a shared history. Community heritage has the ability to promote a sense of belonging to our society and can provide individuals with a sense of identity

We are working hard to make space to hear all voices from both our region’s historical past and present. We encourage you this month to reflect on how the heritage of the qathet Region may influence your current values and identity.
