There will be 3 Slices of Summer concerts at the Museum and you can find links to the tickets here: http://www.calvindyck.com/concerts.html...

One of the concerts will be held at a different location.

{The museum is located too close to the airshow for one of the dates and the "fly by" sound interferes with the performances}.

There will be less seats and more space than what we've been used to in the past (prior to Covid), but as of this afternoon, there is still availability, so get your tickets ordered right away!

Don't miss this concert series brought to you by Songs, Strings and Steps!

Mennonites have a long-standing history of meeting violence with non-resistance. At various times, like in the 1870s when, faced with the threatened loss of military exemption in Russia, more than 7,000 Mennonites immigrated to Canada, Mennonites held to this position and responded by seeking a new homeland. At other times, they responded by performing alternative service or becoming conscientious objectors during wartime, by taking up arms or joining the military as soldiers, and by joining the military in non-combatant capacities. Their relationships with governments and the surrounding cultures have been tested and tried on this topic. Their relationships with each other, as seen in some of the tensions that existed between the “Kanadier” Mennonites of the 1870s and the “Russländer” who migrated to Canada in the 1920s, or the Mennonite community’s response to returning Mennonite veterans after the Second World War, have also been severely tested over the ways Mennonites have chosen to respond to violence. “Mennonites at War” will explore a number of themes including martyrdom in the Reformation; violence and migration; alternative service and conscientious objection; military service (either as soldiers or non-combatants); and the stories of Mennonite women during times of violence and war.

The exhibit is open to the public and will run until November 14th.

While the Coffee Shop Summer Take Out begins, the rest of the museum and the MHSBC remain on "PAUSE"....

The Mennonite Heritage Museum Exhibits and Mennonite Historical Society of BC will be closed to the public until further notice. We will keep you posted about opening dates.

We are in process of planning to re-open in the future with the protocols and procedures in place following the advice of our government and health officials due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Staff will reply to emails, and mail will still be received by both the Museum and MHSBC. Volunteers are still working on projects from home where possible.

All our events have been deferred. If you purchased tickets for the Pier 21 musical, please hang on to them for now as we remain optimistic and we are hoping to reschedule and plans are in place to do so. If you would like a refund, this can also be arranged: please email archives@mhsbc.com.
