The Jim Pattison Foundation Donates $10,000 to the Nanaimo Museum

 

A generous donation was received in January by the Nanaimo Museum from
the Jim Pattison Foundation. The cheque for $10 000 will be very
valuable to us for future gallery and exhibit development. 

 

Mr. Pattison extended his intended brief tour by spending time viewing
each exhibit. He praised the award winning Coal Mine exhibit and noted
the difficult working conditions of Nanaimo's early mining industry. Mr.
Pattison toured the museum in November 2010, after The Jim Pattison
Group, Broadcast Divisional Meeting at the museum.   

 

"Mr. Pattison had many fond memories of Nanaimo from his summer visits
during his childhood years." says Debbie Trueman, "He also commented on
the great job the museum has done at preserving the past and identifying
the role Nanaimo has played in the growth of our province."
