We're thrilled to announce that we have received a $1,000,000 grant from the Province of British Columbia through the Rural Economic Diversification and Infrastructure Program (REDIP). This brings our Renewal project to $5 MILLION raised.

We know you're excited to see the major capital upgrades and new interpretive features we've been planning. We're excited, too! The immersive Mine Experience will bring Rossland’s rich industrial heritage to life through interactive, sensory-rich exhibits and expanded programming. Additional improvements include a reimagined entrance, enhanced accessibility, and flexible indoor and outdoor gathering spaces.

"The Rossland Museum is not just a great spot for tourists, but a pillar for the community that preserves important history and facilitates programming in the City of Rossland," said Steve Morissette, MLA for Kootenay-Monashee. "I'm grateful our government could support them in continuing to expand their services so their impact can be felt for years to come!"

Fantastic news. Congratulations to the Board, staff and volunteers, past & present, who had this vision then contributed to its development over the years. This has been a long collective effort. The museum is an attraction/asset that sets Rossland apart and memorializes our unique history.
