[BCMA] The Maritime Museum of BC seeks Public Input into Move to CPR Building

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

I really feel it's not a good deal for the Maritime Museum of B. C.
Your court house is a great attraction to visitors and I don't think you
will find you have much more space as this is only a two story building
and your library would  take up most of the lower floor  I would like to
see you persuade B. C. Ferries to give you one of the old Queen's that
would make a super Maritime Museum.

Museum seeks Public Input on Proposed Waterfront Move

 

The Maritime Museum of British Columbia, a long-term resident of the old
Court House building in Bastion Square, has set its sights on the former
CPR Steamship Terminal in Victoria's Inner Harbour.   In response to the
Provincial Capital Commission's request for proposal to occupy the
building previously tenanted by the Wax Museum, the Maritime Museum of
BC has assembled a task force consisting of architects, planners,
fundraisers and experienced museum personnel, to put together an
attractive and practical submission.

 

"We've got only one chance to do this right" says Jamie Webb, the
Museum's Foundation president and chair of the task force, "and we need
the community to tell us what they want to see in a new on-the-water
maritime centre."

 

As a result the Maritime Museum of BC is opening its doors to the public
free of charge Saturday, February 5th so that its impressive collection
of artefacts, paintings and photographs can be viewed first hand.
Visitors and locals alike are being asked to express their views on what
to keep and what to change. "We are encouraging the public to visit and
share their ideas and experiences", says Webb.  Museum staff and the
task force committee will be on hand to answer questions and take
suggestions. 

 

Date: Saturday, February 5th

Time: 12:00-4:00 pm free admission

Place: Maritime Museum of BC, 28 Bastion Square
