The theme of this issue is gratitude; heartfelt thanks and appreciation for our donors who have made so many wonderful projects come to life this year. We celebrated the re-opening of Helmcken House and St Ann’s Schoolhouse with new interpretation and state of the art fire suppression systems – a result of our generous donor community. At the same time, we recently launched a campaign to raise funds for a travelling exhibition, which opened in Parksville with great fanfare! It has now begun its tour around the province, thanks to our generous supporters.
Thank you to our Donors and Supporters

I have made a personal decision to make more time in my life for my family and to explore a career as an independent businesswoman providing consulting services to the not-for-profit sector. I am grateful for the time I have had here at the Royal BC Museum, working with a wonderful family of dedicated professionals. I look forward to joining all of you as a dedicated donor and member of this great organization.
