A side effect of these projects is that we have also finished one of our Strategic Plan goals!

Congrats, Joelle!

November 3rd was a special day at the Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre: it marked ten years since Joelle Hodgins began as Museum Director! Joelle keeps a pretty low profile around town and in the Museum: she generally prefers the behind-the-scenes stuff.

Beyond the Battlefield: Remembrance Day Film Festival & Outreach Exhibit

In honour of Remembrance Day, we're hosting a mini-film festival on Saturday, November 9th to explore narratives that sometimes go unnoticed. We'll be showing five films from the National Film Board of Canada that will highlight some of the incredible contributions of women in both world wars, Indigenous soldiers in WWII, Italian-Canadian internment experiences during WWII, and the story of a pair of Mennonite brothers during WWII who made the tough decision to either enlist or be conscientious objectors. Drop by for just one film, or stay to see them all! Entry by donation.
