Exhibit Spotlight - VILLA'S 50th

by Mary Williams, Assistant Curator

July 22nd, 2023 through September, 2023

qMAS is pleased to have a new seasonal exhibit on display this summer. As this fall is the 50th anniversary of Powell River's very own VILLA Soccer Team, we have collaborated with them to create this special display.

The team loaned all of the items exhibited to the Museum, for which we are extremely grateful. Both the Museum staff and the VILLA Soccer Team are glad that the public will be able to view these items so full of memories.

Some of the wonderful items loaned to the Museum are one of the first jerseys used by the original team, and a jersey from the short-lived women's division of the team. There are plenty of other items as well, so we everyone is encouraged to come and view this temporary exhibit before it's closed down!

For those who find this exhibit particularly fascinating, a member of the VILLA Soccer Club will be giving a Fall Speaker Series talk in September at the Museum. Why not attend both the exhibit and presentation, and get as much as you can out of this timesensitive exhibit?
