Truth & Reconciliation Day
National Day for Truth & Reconciliation is just around the corner.
In the acknowledgement of Indigenous Rights, and paving way for a more equitable future, governments, organizations, and community leaders have been using terms such as ‘UNDRIP’, ‘Declaration Act’, or ‘Calls To Action’.
What exactly does this all mean? How does it affect the future of Indigenous People? Why do museums play a role in all of this?
To commemorate the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation, stop by the Qualicum Beach Museum to learn the answers to those questions, hear about the UN’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and see what museums across BC are doing to support their local Indigenous communities.
‘The Beginning of Truth & Reconciliation’ will be open on September 30th 10 am to 4 pm, and is on display until November 26, 2024. Visitors are also invited to contribute to a commemorative book to mark their reflections on truth, reconciliation, and the rights of Indigenous peoples.
Open Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays 1 – 4 p.m.

Participate in National Pet Day
Do you have any pets? The QB Museum would love to see them!
National Pet Day is on April 11th, and this year, we would love to include your pet in a QB Museum social media post!
We will be compiling photos of the pets of museum members and friends, and submitting a group collage to our social media, celebrating the love and compassion we have for all animals, and those we have made our best friends.
Submit a photo to qbmuseum2@shaw.ca before April 5th with your pets name(s) and a little one-sentence blurb about them. Thank you!
