FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Nanaimo Museum Remembrance Week

Honour Canada's military veterans by visiting the Remembrance Week
exhibit hosted by the Nanaimo Museum and the Vancouver Island Military
Museum. The exhibit will run from Monday, Nov. 7 to Thursday, Nov. 10 at
the Nanaimo Museum. Visitors will get a glimpse into the lives of the
men and women who served our county through a display of local photos,
uniforms, war medals, and war time artifacts.

The Remembrance week exhibit at the Nanaimo Museum commemorates the
contributions of the Canadian service men and women who protected our
rights and freedoms. The uniform of Captain Joseph Carpenter will be on
display. He raised the Nanaimo Independent Company, with its hat badge
being a replica of the Bastion. While he had served as a Captain in the
army, he enlisted as a sapper in order to get overseas in the 1914-1918
war.

The exhibit will feature the war time experiences of regular people on
Vancouver Island. It includes a gas mask designed for children and
stored under school desks in preparation for bomb threats, to photos of
Nanaimo's military camp during World War II. Artifacts such as model
aircraft and a model ship will be on display.

For more information, please call Aimee Greenaway at 250-753-1821.
