Oliver, BC – This summer the Oliver Museum and Archives are excited to welcome a new face to the staff!

Shannon Tan, a Political Science student at the University of British Columbia, has joined us from Vancouver as one of three summer assistants. Please help us welcome her to the sunny Okanagan Valley!
Happy to be re-joining us this summer is Isaac Nazaroff, who has spent this last year studying at the University of Victoria. This is Isaac’s second summer with the ODHS.

The third student, Prescott Wick, a student at Southern Okanagan Secondary School, shall be joining the team in early July.Some of the projects that these young people will be assisting with include the rejuvenation of the Fairview Jail exhibits, research for other exhibits, assisting with an artifact inventory and revamping and leading the historical walking tours being held on Thursdays and Friday mornings starting June 11th.
Two of these positions are being subsidized by the Young Canada Works program. The third position is being subsidized by the Canada Summer Jobs program, the first time the ODHS has been funded by this program. Without these subsidies these positions would not be possible.
Please say hello if you see them around town or come in anytime and they can help you do research, tour you through the Museum or find what you are looking for.
