Join one of our Community Clubs!
These clubs work directly with staff to develop certain special-interest projects and programs.
Ecology Club
The purpose of this club is to develop a local community resource within the RMDC, focused on our local ecology.
Contact Skylar at 250-362-7722 or community@ rosslandmuseum.ca
Roger Terhune Geology Club
This club is meant to inspire conversations on Rossland’s unique local geology and bring together a group of like-minded people who are interested in local geology in an amateur to professional capacity - all are welcome!

Genealogy Club
This club meets monthly at the museum to tackle personal genealogy projects or support museum research requests. Thanks to a number of trained genealogist volunteers, this is a great opportunity to work through your family history and learn about the many resources available at the museum or online.
