One hundred years ago the corner of 4th Street and Cliffe Avenue would have looked much different from today. The Courtenay Post Office building, a mix of brick and concrete masonry, was under construction. Work began in late 1924, and the Post Office opened for business in January 1926.
As the warmer weather approaches, don’t forget to book your spot on a world famous fossil tour guided by our Natural History Curator, Pat Trask.
We’re excited to broadcast the Vaux’s swifts return to the Courtenay Museum’s brick chimney this year. With help from Mayor Bob Wells, ACS Computer Solutions, and City of Courtenay staff, the museum will have a 24-hour livestream on YouTube to view the swift traffic inside and outside the museum chimney.
The museum will be closed on Friday, April 18th. Wishing everyone a safe and happy Easter weekend!
