As you undoubtedly
noticed (since it is the most important part of your week), I haven’t updated
this journal for a couple weeks. I have been off work since the beginning of
June due to an unexpected medical issue, but I am much better now and relieved
to be back at work. Heck, I’m just happy to leave the house for a purpose that doesn’t involve a doctor!
A whole lot has changed here at the museum in the 18 days I
was absent. One of the first things I noticed was the new Molly’s Reach lapel pins we have in the Gift Shop. They are $4 each.
The gardens look magnificent thanks to our wonderful volunteer
Sheila Weaver. She was making some progress when I left, but take a look now:
Lastly, our new canoe exhibit is coming along nicely. The
500 pound canoe which is the centerpiece of the exhibit was (fortunately for me),
installed before I started working here and the last two weeks have seen
progress beyond that. The exhibit is borrowed from Squamish Lil’wat Cultural
Centre and showcases the canoe building practices of the Squamish
and Lil’wat waterways that suported their culture for generations. We hope to
be able to open the exhibit by June 28th. Here's some pictures of where we're at now:
I won’t make the promise to post again next week because it
seems to be a jinx, but until next time,
Terri
