In Case You Missed It…

We're in the Final Stretch! The Rossland Museum Renewal Project is almost ready to break ground on Phase Two – The Mine Experience. We are submitting our building permit in the coming weeks, hiring our Construction Manager, and preparing to mobilize for construction in early spring. With designs complete and exhibition design in its final stages, this once‑in‑a‑generation project is moving from planning to reality.

We have secured $5.2M toward this transformational phase. With additional planning costs, rising construction prices, and updated code and infrastructure requirements, we are seeking additional support from our community, businesses, and partners to fully fund construction and keep the project on schedule.

You can support the Renewal Project by:

  • Making a one‑time or monthly donation

  • Becoming a leadership or major donor

  • Exploring corporate sponsorship or naming opportunities

This is Rossland’s story. This is Rossland’s museum. Your support today will help bring the Mine Experience to life for future generations.

Chinese New Year in Early Rossland

Did you know that February 17th marked the start of the Lunar New Year? Chinese New Year celebrations are among the few moments when Chinese residents appear in Rossland’s historical record in any meaningful detail. By examining these accounts critically and comparing them to traditional celebrations, we can better understand how Chinese migrants preserved their cultural identity. Despite discrimination and isolation, they maintained their traditions, adapted to new conditions, and built community far from home.
