February was a fantastic month with some fun and thought-provoking pieces to reflect on. Identity was a theme woven into the events we hosted and we explored how our environment, historical context and imagination influence culture.
The Leisure Centre display cases have a heritage story to tell as the Museum & Archives stirred the pot by exploring food as an identifier of a different historical time. Their display is an exhibit that nods to BC Heritage Week's Food theme and will be on display until Mid March.
Also, this past month, MĂ©tis culture beautifully showcased through the Clarke Theatre Presents offering of Where Have All the Buffalo Gone. And just so we could go a bit deeper, Alison, our Outreach & Engagement leader, brought a Free! Traditional Jigging workshop to the community. This workshop was facilitated by the talented Fergus Dalton with Kathleen Nisbet on the fiddle.
And with that tough act to follow, we hosted an incredible Family Day event at the Clarke Theatre, Families had the opportunity to explore, express, and play around with their "Super hero" identity. They crafted shields and power cuffs, dawned face paint masks and put their balance, agility, and strength to the test at a variety of stations. Even the staff expressed their super powers of creativity with cool costumes to run with the theme. Check out our highlight reel on YouTube or Instagram.
And if while reading this you're experiencing FOMO, don't worry there is more cool projects and events in queue. So stay connected and don't hesitate to reach out.
