New Exhibit – New Acquisitions

CDM 2019.31.1 “Auld Lang Syne” doll hand made by Betsy Howard, early 1950s.
New Acquisitions shines a spotlight on recent donations to the museum collection. This Courtenay Museum curated exhibit is only possible because of the descendants and donors who trust the museum to preserve and interpret the natural and cultural heritage of this region.
From decoy brants to deco lamps and anything in between, this exhibit offers many ways to connect with our community’s past.

Something to Write Home About
2026-01-17 11:00 - 14:00 | the Courtenay and District Museum, 207 4th St, Courtenay, BC, COURTENAY, BC, V9N 1G7, Canada
The former Post Office building, now home to the Courtenay Museum, turns 100 years old in January 2026.
Celebrate this anniversary by participating in Universal Letter Writing Week on Saturday, January 17 at the museum. Drop in from 11 AM to 2 PM and put pen to paper.
The museum will provide pens, paper, envelopes and Canadian stamps. You take a few moments to express yourself in handwritten words and, before you know it, you’ve got a letter to post!
Letter writing in the old post office is a perfect activity to commemorate the centennial!
