On August 13, 2022, the Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre travelled to Trail’s Pride 2022 festivities at Trail’s IncrEDIBLE Farmers Market! With us, we brought along A History of Pride in the West Kootenays. The exhibit highlighted notable Pride events across the West Kootenays, ranging from 1996 to 2020.
A History of Pride in the West Kootenays was researched and written by Research Assistant, Tyler Bignell, and designed by Technology Assistant, Berry Dale.
