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. We invite members of the public to submit stories about the paper mill in Powell River for the memoir anthology project, Memories of the Mill.

Of the submissions, we will choose 15 memoirs to record and film for the creation of a video series in partnership with the Powell River Public Library. Please note; all memoirs submitted will become part of the Museum’s archives, as historical records and accounts of the Powell River Paper Mill.
