FEATURED EVENTS

Heritage Week at the Museum

Visiting the museum is a timeless pastime, and during BC Heritage Week, we invite you to enjoy an enriching experience for the whole family! Learn about the community of Port Moody in our 1908 live-in train station, and climb aboard history on our 1921 first class sleeper train car. Explore our new exhibit highlighting the Chinese Legacy of Perseverance and Progress, which celebrates the significant contributions of Chinese Canadians to the development of BC. Then, take a step back in time with our Heritage Toys display, where children can play with vintage toys and discover the pastimes of earlier generations. It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn, play, and connect with history—all while honouring the theme of "Pastimes in Past Times." Join us for a day of discovery, fun, and cultural celebration! Entrance by donation, $5 is suggested

The Sissy Duckling

Elmer, The Sissy Duckling, is a happy, zany fellow that walks to the beat of his own drum. Sometimes he struggles to fit in though. When the other ducklings play baseball, he’d prefer to bake a cake. Or maybe he’d rather put on a puppet show instead of building a fort. He loves to do these things, but it can get a bit lonely when you’re often playing alone. It can be even lonelier if someone calls you a sissy… But Elmer is tough and caring and smart, and he's about to teach his family, and his entire flock, that being different is A-Okay! ‍ A Theatre Outré Production ‍ This Production is Sponsored by The Parachute Fund ‍ A Théâtre du Gros Mécano Production, in partnership with Carousel Theatre for Young people

The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe

Shoes, shoes, shoes! So many shoes! Where did they all come from? Wait, where did they go? And who is this Old Woman trading her stories for shoes? What happened to the forest she used to live in? Step into a magical world that blends fairy tales, music, and shoes in a playful and interactive adventure! Join the Old Woman as she travels around in her oversized boot, discovering hidden stories within each pair of shoes she encounters. Through guided play and the power of imagination, find out where things went wrong for the Old Woman and help her find a new story that brings back the forest and has a Happily Ever After. This new theatrical experience invites children to become part of the story, exploring their imagination and the surprising ways that even the smallest soles can leave a big impression.
