Volunteer

The Museum at Campbell River welcomes volunteers, who form a vital part of our operations.  From the archives, to the front desk, the galleries, school programs, public programs and special events, volunteers are everywhere giving the Museum staff and the public a much needed helping hand.

Gail Thagard, who has been volunteering at the Museum’s front desk for more than three years says:  

“You can’t lose, the staff here are exceptional and provide an all over welcoming experience.  At the reception desk, I meet people from all over the world, and I have the best view in town!  I can’t say enough, about how I enjoy volunteering at the Museum.”

Please inquire with our Front Desk about volunteering.  Come in and pick up an application form.  We would be pleased to welcome you to our team!

History on the Water Boat Tours

Join us on an unforgettable journey through the Discovery Islands, where the past meets the present and the wildlife is as fascinating as the stories.

As you keep an eye out for local wildlife, including whales, sea lions, and eagles, our Museum Guide will entertain you with captivating stories of the people who have called this region home. From the indigenous peoples who first inhabited the islands to the settlers who braved the wilderness, every story is a testament to the resilience and determination of those who came before us.

Museum at Campbell River respectfully acknowledges the Liǧʷiɫdax̌ʷ First Nation, on whose traditional lands we work to preserve, interpret and share the collective human history of North Vancouver Island. The Liǧʷiɫdax̌ʷ First Nation is comprised of the We Wai Kai, Wei Wai Kum and Kwiakah First Nations. Our closest neighbors are the Coast Salish Xwemalhkwu, Klahoose and K’ómoks First Nations.

These nations have close connections to the land where Campbell River is located today.
