Museum display pops up at City Hall for Canada 150
KAMLOOPS — As the nation prepares to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary next year, staff at the Kamloops Museum and Archives are digging through their extensive collections of photographs and artefacts to create a historical display at City Hall.
The Talking Walls Project is beginning to take shape in City Hall’s main lobby, celebrating the people and events that have shaped Kamloops.
“This year knowing that Canada 150 is coming and it’s an entire celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday for the whole year of 2017, we decided to have a pop-up museum here at City Hall, to commemorate that, to mark that at the very beginning of the year, and mark it at the end,” said Kamloops Museum Supervisor Julia Cyr.
