Sundays are now Salty at the Maritime Museum!

In an effort to be more accessible to the public, the Maritime Museum of BC has implemented a new admission change. Children 12 and under are now free. What better time to take advantage of this new change then to bring your little scallywags to Salty Sundays!

Beginning at 1:00pm every second Sunday at the Museum, enjoy crafts, activities, programming, and tours. Discover something new every month! Drop- ins are welcome. Salty Sundays are free with admission.
