Engagement opportunities
How a museum/cultural centre is created plays a role in the museum/cultural centre’s future culture. This engagement process has been designed and shaped by different communities, groups and individuals and will continue to be refined in ways that make sense to those communities, groups and individuals. The process has been designed to be inclusive, transparent and multi-faceted.
We are excited to partner with the BC Museums Association (BCMA) to collaboratively manage and deliver engagement opportunities. BCMA leads by supporting, empowering and advocating for the BC museum community. BCMA’s guiding principle is how the transformative power of museums creates synergy between its approach and the process of discovery for this project.
This engagement will not focus on curatorial content (what the museum/cultural centre will and won’t feature). That stage will come much later and will also be determined by the communities. What this engagement will focus on is determining the vision for the new museum/cultural centre.
- What should be its purpose(s)?
- A museum and archive? A community gathering place? An interactive space or something more?
- What might we call the museum/cultural centre?
- Where should it be located?

The process is sponsored by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport. The engagement process will continue to be shaped with strategic inputs and guidance from a Ministerial Advisory of members of various communities with a stake in this conversation as well as engagement experts at Simon Fraser University’s Centre for Dialogue.
