What Events and Ways to Get Involved Are Listed on the Creston Museum Website?

Updated

The Creston Museum site lists two upcoming events tied to BC Rivers Day, plus several ways to get involved: a Volunteer Job Bulletin Board, current job postings, and a feature exhibit. If you want to attend an event, the site gives dates, times, and locations for both; if you want to participate beyond visiting, the volunteer board and news items are the starting points.

Upcoming Events

Brown Bag History: Goat River Identities

  • Date and time: September 26, 12:00 PM
  • Topic: The many identities of the Goat River, held in celebration of BC Rivers Day
  • What to expect: A lunchtime history talk; the site describes it as exploring the river's "many identities" and links to further details.

Goat River Watershed Celebration

  • Date and time: Sunday, September 27, 12:00–4:00 PM
  • Location: Community Complex
  • Museum contribution: A reprise of the presentation "Electrified: Electrical Power Comes to Creston," beginning at 1:30 PM
  • Host context: Part of the RDCK's Goat River Watershed Celebration

Both events are outdoor- and watershed-themed rather than museum-building programs, so plan for the Community Complex location on the 27th and a midday start on the 26th.

Ways to Get Involved

Volunteer Job Bulletin Board

The site points visitors who want to get involved to a Volunteer Job Bulletin Board. The page evidence names the board but does not list specific volunteer roles, so check the board itself for current openings and requirements.

Current News and Opportunities

The "Latest News" section lists:

  • Career Opportunity – Visitor Services Manager (posted August 21, 2026)
  • Meet Our New President! (June 25, 2026)
  • Hiring Summer Students! (March 14, 2026)

These are dated postings; the summer student and manager roles may already be filled, so confirm status before applying.

Visit the Feature Exhibit

The current feature exhibit is "The Quiet Front: Creston Valley, the Cold War, and Beyond." Fall and winter hours are Wednesdays 1:00–4:00, Thursdays and Fridays 10:00–1:00, and Saturdays 10:00–4:00.
