Do you have any items tucked away that are collectable, unusual, historical, or antique? Want to know more about them, including what they’re worth? Fascinating and valuable items have been “discovered” in the past. Will your item be the next big discovery? Bring them down to the 12th Annual Antiques Roadshow and Heritage Fair on Saturday, February 23rd, and find out. This major fundraising event will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion in Sechelt from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. 

Qualified appraisers generously donate their time and expertise to appraise a variety of items including paintings, stamps and coins, silver, jewelry, rare books, collectables, china, military items and much more.  Appraisals will be limited to a maximum of 3 items per person so that as many participants as possible can be seen. Admission is free but an appraisal will cost $15 for 1 item, $20 for 2 items, and $25 for 3 items. A fee of $30 will be charged for a collection which is defined as four or more items of a similar nature.

In celebration of BC Heritage Week, we will be hosting a Heritage Fair and Membership Drive. There will be displays from the Sunshine Coast Museum & Archives, the Sechelt Archives, Pender Harbour Living Heritage Society and the Egmont Heritage Center. Browse the on-site historical displays and learn about the various heritage organizations on the Coast. All proceeds support Museum services and programs. Donations are greatly appreciated and by purchasing a museum membership you can enter a draw to win a Beachcombers gift pack valued at over $50 retail. 

Attend this fun and informative event - learn about our local history and support the SCMA in our efforts to preserve, present, engage and inspire! For more information, please call us at 604.886.8232 or check our website www.sunshinecoastmuseum.ca.
