The Bowen Island Museum and Archives invites you to explore the history of White Rock at war through artifacts from the Museum’s collection, archival photos and drawings, and a series of letters sent to and from Canadians at war.
Also featured are letters from White Rock Soldiers overseas and newspaper articles published in The Semiahmoo Sun during the Second World War. The exhibit features a WWI helmet, mess kit, and other items. The exhibit is up for the first time, and will be in place until November 22nd.
To honour those whose lives have been touched by war, the Museum & Archives commemorates Remembrance Day with exhibits and slideshows. Photographs and artifacts give us a glimpse into Bowen Islanders’ experiences at war and on the home front.
We will have a special opening on November 11 with slide shows and refreshments following the Remembrance Day Ceremony at the Cenotaph in Snug Cove.
