Veterans' Week 2022

Veterans’ Week & Remembrance Day at the Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre

In honour of Veterans’ Week and Remembrance Day, the Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre has curated temporary exhibitions on Rossland’s wartime efforts during the First and Second World Wars.

For the entire month of November, the Museum will have an exhibit on Rossland during the Second World War, featuring pilots Garth Beley and James Harper, the ARP (Air Raid Precautions), and the Rossland Red Cross. Additionally, the Rossland Public Library will have an exhibit on Private Benjamin Allen, with a display of his service medals.
