EXHIBITS

Nov 24 to May 21, 2012

For countless generations, Squamish people hunted, fished, gathered resources, engaged in battle, and welcomed visitors from their canoes. This special exhibition, a partnership between the Vancouver Maritime Museum and the Squamish Nation, will take visitors through the lifecycle of a Squamish canoe —— from its roots in a stand of local temperate rainforest, through the hands of Squamish craftsmen, and throughout the Salish Sea.

In the J. Torben Karlshoej Gallery

To mark the 100th anniversary of the Vancouver Police’s nautical activities we will be telling the story of this maritime arm of the police. The exhibit consists of photographs illustrating the Unit’s history and how it has grown and developed.
