The Sunshine Coast Museum and Archives annual George and Charlotte Gibson Day celebrates coastal heritage with an open house on Saturday, May 20 from noon to 3 p.m. at the museum in Gibsons.

This year’s celebration will feature the first historical walking tour of the year with Dale Peterson. And visitors will have the opportunity to explore the new museum gallery space after last year’s building renovation, including the new forest-themed entrance foyer, and enjoy the Coast Salish weaving exhibit before it returns to the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre in June.

The historical walking tour of Gibson’s Landing will start at the Gibsons Visitor Centre at 10 a.m. (rain or shine) and will highlight heritage sites and entertaining stories of the region, ending at the museum in time for refreshments and cake. Tours are by donation.

Come explore your museum and learn more about coastal heritage. For more information, call 604-886-8232, email [email protected], or see www.sunshinecoastmuseum.ca
