Help give the museum a facelift

It's summer, believe it or not, and this means a time for things to shine. But right now the Bowen Island Museum is not shining as brightly as it could.

It's summer, believe it or not, and this means a time for things to shine. But right now the Bowen Island Museum is not shining as brightly as it could. An effort is underway to create an inviting, bright space where the history of this community can be explored.

The museum is getting a fresh coat of paint, a face-lift of sorts, to enhance its presence in the community and to draw people to the museum and its wealth of stories.

The inviting colours will transform the museum into a beacon, while highlighting the beautiful architectural details of the building. Our wonderful museum board members, especially Rob Forbes, are working hard on this project, and we want your help.

We need more painting volunteers to help the community museum, and as a bonus add a little to your resume. It's a great experience, great fun, and you may even get a tan and meet new people! contact info: You can reach us at (604) 947-2655.

Help us illuminate Bowen history!
