Mirrors of Development - Rossland and Kimberley

Mirrors of Development, a travelling 2D exhibition, was created by the Columbia Basin Institute of Regional History (CBIRH) is currently on display! The exhibition strives to show a parallel progression between Rossland and Kimberley. Despite being separated by over 260 km, Rossland and Kimberley have surprisingly similar histories. Both towns started as mining camps, have produced world-class athletes, and have successfully transitioned into resort towns as their mining industry era came to a close. The images in the exhibition follow this shared pathway, mirroring each other through their development.

November Speaker Series and AGM - November 29th

My history teacher always told me that if we don’t study the past, we will never be able to understand the future. From a legacy perspective, we tell our stories for ourselves and as a gift to future generations.

Stories connect the past and present to the future. They can awaken future generations to their potential and they honour and give thanks to the people who helped create the communities we enjoy today.
