Музей истории Барриера приглашает посетителей познакомиться с двумя новыми студентами-волонтерами

The North Thompson Museum and Archives welcomes two summer students Published 10:49 am Monday, August 24, 2026 The North Thompson Museum & Archives at 343 Lilley Road is still open with regular hours for the rest of the summer. The Barriere & District Heritage Society was again fortunate to obtain federal funding from Canada Summer Jobs to hire two students, Kathryn and Jamie. Time is running out to meet the two students. If you haven’t visited them this summer, now is the time to take and allow them to showcase the local history. - Kathryn is a third-year archaeology student that is guaranteed to bring a unique perspective and opportunity to the Barriere Museum. Kathryn has long-term family ties in the immediate Barriere area. - Jamie is a Barriere Secondary student moving on to Grade 12 in September. Jamie has an effervescent personality with strong communication skills. If you are new to Barriere, or if you have lived here for several years, the Barriere Museum is the place to learn just a little bit more about where you live and play. Take a tour of heritage garden (first place winner of the 2024 Barriere Blooms in the Best Church & Non-Profit category) and the various buildings filled with static and refreshed periodic exhibits of local artifacts and history. The Society volunteers and the summer students welcome everyone to visit the Barriere Museum this summer. Our summer hours are: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday to Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Thursday at the Barriere Farmer’s Market from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and later at the museum from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Entry to the museum is by donation (pay what you can). Follow us on Facebook @ Barriere History https://www.facebook.com/barrierehistory to learn about the Society’s various planned activities over the summer. Also watch for these announcements in the “Join Us” section of the North Thompson Star Journal and / or on various local Facebook groups. Editor’s note: Sandy Cesselli is the secretary treasurer of the Barriere & District Heritage Society.
