March Speaker Series with Kim Deane and Lou Corrado

Kim Deane and Lou Corrado were born and raised in Rossland, and since the 1940s, they've seen the city change and evolve to an extraordinary degree. These two long-time Rosslanders will take us on a fascinating and nostalgic journey through Rossland’s history, touching on the post-war period, the evolution of Cominco, the expansion of the skiing industry, evolving subcultures, and more! If you’re interested in Rossland’s history or you’re a long-time local looking to indulge in a little nostalgia (and maybe learn something new about your backyard!) then this is the event for you. Our March Speaker Series event is Thursday, March 28th at 6 pm - Entry is by donation and treats/refreshments will be provided.

November Speaker Series and AGM - November 29th

My history teacher always told me that if we don’t study the past, we will never be able to understand the future. From a legacy perspective, we tell our stories for ourselves and as a gift to future generations.

Stories connect the past and present to the future. They can awaken future generations to their potential and they honour and give thanks to the people who helped create the communities we enjoy today.
