<p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Maritime Museum of BC is proud to announce the launch of the
<i>We Are the West Coast </i>Conversations Project, a blog showcasing the Museum’s conversations with people who have an intimate connection to BC’s maritime environment.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our mission is to tell the stories of the vibrant community that exists on the shores and amongst the wave of the Salish Sea through text, image and sound.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In essence, the blog is a living exhibit, capturing profoundly the way in which contemporary people interact with our ocean and marine heritage. We are also developing a plan to translate the blog into a physical exhibit in the future.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is the link to the blog site: <a href="http://www.wearethewestcoast.com/">
http://www.wearethewestcoast.com/</a>. Take a moment to read, enjoy, and become a part of the conversation!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Very best,<o:p></o:p></p>
