We invest in programs and exhibits that ignite curious minds including:   

  • Authentic sharing of Indigenous knowledge and First Peoples Principles of Learning.
  • Sensory Friendly Mornings that offer children with autism spectrum disorder tailored museum visits in a calm atmosphere.
  • Experiencing the Archives in new ways with online archival exhibits and #NorthVanStories Living History project.
  • School curriculum-based activities for pre-schoolers to teens.
  • Thought-provoking exhibits and events, and so much more.

Our Focus

We are a charity and membership organization dedicated to develop awareness of our community history by supporting and raising funds for MONOVA.
