This new exhibit at the Maritime Museum of BC opens on May 17, 2022 and runs through the the summer. Queer and trans communities have long been a part of BC’s maritime history and culture. This exhibit will showcase those histories and culture, celebrate the roles and contributions queer and trans people have made to BC’s maritime sectors, and will acknowledge work that remains to eliminate discrimination against the 2SLGBTQ+ community in the marine sectors. The Museum is seeking input from queer and trans individuals who are willing to voluntarily share their stories for use in the exhibit. The deadline for sharing your story is March 4. To share your story, complete the online form at mmbc.bc.ca.
GRAND celebrates who you are as a grandparent and who you are as an individual. You love spending time with your grandchildren and you’re happy in your other roles: at work, in the community and on your own. We’re an active and diverse group—an engaged, evolving and powerful force. We’re mentors, nurturers, keepers of secrets. We’re caregivers, child care providers, dessert-before-dinner defenders. We’re historians, spiritual guides and the holders of family stories.
