On-Call Program Leader (Paid Position)



Are you passionate about local history, and sharing knowledge with young
people in an engaging and contemporary way? The White Rock Museum and
Archives (WRMA) is launching two new school programs (Grades 3-6, and Grades

<http://www.whiterockmuseum.ca/programs/#rethink-railroad>  (Grades 3-6)
This program provides students with the opportunity to learn about how the
history of the railroad in White Rock has shaped our contemporary landscape.
Students will explore artifacts, maps, and newspaper relating to the
railroad and engage in dialogue about the significance of the railroad and
various perspectives to approaching it.



・       Monumental Monuments
<http://www.whiterockmuseum.ca/programs/#meaningful-monuments>  (Grades
9-11) This program offers the opportunity for students to examine two White
Rock heritage sites (train station and the pier) using the permanent
gallery, newspaper articles, and photographs. Students will engage in
dialogue about the diverse range of perspectives on understanding these
enduring places and what roles these sites have in the community today.
