Upcoming Event:
Sharing Circle Friday September 23 | 5:00 to 6:00 pm At the Library, in the FCU Room. Everyone Welcome! Bring an anecdote, photo, or an object to share. There will be a presentation about mill history, followed by an open floor for the public.

Please note; all memoirs submitted will become part of the Museum’s archives, as historical records and accounts of the Powell River Paper Mill.
