The Courtenay and District Museum will celebrate Canada Day with an open house from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm on Wednesday, July 1. Guests are welcome to enjoy live music by Alan Jossul, enter to win a door prize, and try their hand at kids’ crafts.

There will also be a special one-day-only 50% off sale for the book Step Into Wilderness: A Pictorial History of Outdoor Exploration in and around the Comox Valley (limit of 3 per person).

While you’re at the museum loving the air-conditioned comfort, take a few moments to check out the second-floor exhibit New Acquisitions, an in-house produced display showcasing some of the donations that haven’t yet been seen by the public.
