Dennis Oomen is replacing Peter Ord, who took up a new position at the Royal B.C. Museum in Victoria on Oct. 6 after nearly 10 years association with the Penticton museum.

Oomen’s last position was curator at the Kamloops Museum and Archives, where he has been since 2006. But his background includes a range of experience in the heritage field, beginning with contract work for the federal Museum of Civilization in Hull, Que. in 1988. According to his bio, the new museum was still months away from opening at the time and there was a lot of work to be done building new exhibits. More work followed at the Museum of Nature and the National Aviation Museum.
