The Courtenay and District Museum will celebrate Canada Day with an open house from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm on Tuesday, July 1st. 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 Broken Promises, a travelling exhibit from the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre.
