SUMMARY:Town Hall - Museum Interpretive Concept
DESCRIPTION:The Cranbrook History Centre invites you to share your stories\, thoughts and feedback on our new Draft Museum Interpretive Concept. This will be an interactive meeting hosted by Melanie Greenaway of Double Dare Designs and Don Enrich from Don Enrich Consulting. This is your opportunity to explore the zones and narratives throughout the document with Melanie and Don\, asking questions and providing your thoughts. Throughout the meeting we will be using a polling software called Menti. We recommend for participants to have a smartphone\, a tablet\, or a browser window open to interact with the polls. More instructions will be provided at the meeting. \nIn 2024\, the Cranbrook History Centre engaged Double Dare Design to re-envision our visitor experience\, with a particular focus on developing a permanent exhibition in a currently unoccupied space in the building and a self-guided tour of the railcar collection. Double Dare has also conducted a high-level assessment of the other public-facing spaces that form part of the visitor experience. Based on this analysis\, the document outlines recommendations for visitor experience upgrades throughout the venue. Like all museums\, regular updates to infrastructure\, exhibitions\, and programs are necessary to engage the public and remain relevant to the Museum’s audiences. \nExplore the document: Here \nIf you’re unable to attend the online meeting\, the website invites you to provide your thoughts throughout by use the comment section on the bottom of each page. \n  \nRegister for the meeting: Here\n  \n

SUMMARY:Ed Talk: Memories of Japanese Migrant Sex Workers in Transpacific Kootenays
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin the Cranbrook History Centre on June 23rd\, 2021\, to welcome Professor Ayaka Yoshimizu as our monthly Ed Talk speaker. She will give a presentation on the research that she conducted on the transpacific underground in Cranbrook and the East and Central Kootenays in 2018. \nPlease note: This presentation will contain discussions of sex work and may not be suitable for young audiences. \nIn her talk\, Ayaka Yoshimizu will share part of her research on memories of Japanese women who were involved in the transnational sex trade in Japan and North American between 1850-1941. Her research identifies available traces of this elusive and repressed history and examines the ways in which the lives of those who survived the underground economy and their losses have been memorialized in art\, literature\, material objects and memorial places. This talk specifically highlights findings from her archival and fieldwork research in East and Central Kootenays and explores an ethical way to engage with this history. \nMore About Our Presenter:\nAyaka Yoshimizu is Assistant Professor of Teaching in the Department of Asian Studies at the University of British Columbia. Her research interests include transpacific migration and cultures\, memories and senses\, and performative methodology. Her recent publications include “Unsettling memories of Japanese migrant sex workers: Carceral mobilities of the Transpacific Underground at the turn of the 20th century” (Topia\, forthcoming) and “Doing Performance Ethnography among the Dead\, Remembering Lives of Japanese Migrants in Transpacific Sex Trade” (Performance Matters\, 2018). She is currently working on a monograph tentatively entitled\, Doing Ethnography in the Wake of the Displacement of Transnational Sex Workers in Yokohama: Sensuous Remembering. \n  \n  \n[gravityform id=”12″ title=”true” description=”true”]

SUMMARY:'New Roots' Online Premiere and Q&A with Director Mark Locki
DESCRIPTION:New Roots is a short documentary film that tells the story of Michael and Marie-Eve\, two local farmers as they explore how farming connects them to the past\, present\, and future. \nJoin Director Mark Locki with Wildsight Kimberley Cranbrook and the Cranbrook History Centre to learn all about the story behind the documentary and for a Q&A with the films stars afterwards. \n \n More About The Film:\nThis short documentary follows Michael Albert\, Marie-Eve Fradette and their 2 young daughters through a growing season on their farm in Wycliffe\, BC. Through the film\, Michael and Marie-Eve describe their personal journeys\, from their youth growing up around farms to their passion for food\, and their desire to pass down their knowledge to their children. Michael talks about his transformation from being an artist/photographer in his past life to his current art – growing food\, and what it means to him personally to be connected to his past. While they know they may not be able to make a significant change in how society currently views food\, they know they can provide that change in their own community\, and it starts in their household. \nInterviews with Chad Kile and Meredith Funston\, two local food experts\, provide insight into the reasons we need to build knowledge of our food systems to ensure a more food secure future for our local communities. \nMore About the Filmmaker:\nMark Locki is an award-winning photographer\, writer and emerging filmmaker based in Kimberley\, BC. His stories of peoples\, places and cultures aim to inspire others to explore the world\, chase their dreams\, and work towards making the world a better place. Topics that are the focus of his work include environmental and social causes\, sustainable tourism and outdoor recreation. \nAn avid traveller\, Mark has been privileged to explore much of North America\, Europe and Latin America\, with Mexico holding a special place in his heart. When not behind the camera\, Mark enjoys spending time in the mountains on foot and ski\, or in front of the BBQ cooking up a storm. \n  \n[gravityform id=”11″ title=”true” description=”false”]

SUMMARY:Ed Talks Panel: Building Community in Heritage Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Join our panelists for an evening of reflection on what heritage buildings mean for Cranbrook and our many diverse communities in the present day. They will share their thoughts on the difficult decisions that accompany the restoration of historic buildings\, the benefits of operating out of a heritage building\, why it is important for them to house their organization in a heritage building and more. \nOur Featured Panelists: \nFerdy Belland is a long-time contributor to Cranbrook’s arts and culture communities\, with a multifaceted and colorful career combining music\, theatre\, carpentry\, journalism\, and events promotion spanning over 30 years. In January 2020 he and his partners purchased the venerable Armond Theatre building in Downtown Cranbrook; their ongoing renovation and restoration will see the Armond reopen post-pandemic as a sustainable multipurpose performing-arts facility and community hub\, boosting downtown revitalization\, nightlife resurgence\, cultural reinvigoration\, regional tourism\, and civic pride.  \n  \n  \nHuyas\, hu qakⱡik Janice Alpine. Early in my career I wanted to ensure I would make a difference on people’s outlook on life. I was a key individual in conducting many research surveys\, policy development in education\, housing and safety regulations that have assisted with the current agreements my nation has in place today. I then moved on to enhance my education and took an intensive course in Tourism and Hospitality Management – Hotel and Motel Management a two-year program that was condensed into nine months and successfully passed with a 4.0 average. Utilizing my newfound knowledge took me from project development manager of our current prestigious St. Eugene Mission Resort to Band management\, to becoming my own consulting business for over twelve years assisting my communities in developing policies and procedures in all aspects of band administration and governance. Currently I am a Business Development Officer and most recently added Tourism Engagement to my duties with the Kootenay Aboriginal Business Development Agency. In my tenure with KABDA I work with entrepreneurs to reach their goals by offering business support. In 2011 I challenged the Technical Level of Aboriginal Economic Development and received my certification though Nicola Valley Institute of Technology. As I advanced in my position I was able to acquire my certification in Later Violence and offered the workshops through the Ktunaxa Communities and at the Ktunaxa Nation Council level and organization staff and Nazko First Nation in Quesnel BC. I worked with Small Business BC to become a Taking the Stage facilitator for women in business. In 2015 I was awarded the Volunteer of the Year Awarded through Community Future’s BC. I was also nominated for the Kootenay Business Magazine Inspirational Business Woman of the year in 2012. In 2018 I received my Ombuds certification through York University. I have been involved in many volunteer efforts since 1999 that include Manager for Ktunaxa Nation Dance Troupe\, and sit on many boards and committees: Community Futures East Kootenay\, Ministers Tourism Engagement Council\, Kootenay Rockies Tourism\, Cranbrook Tourism\, College of the Rockies Business Management Program Advisory\, ʔakisq̓nuk Housing Authority\, Qat̓muk Steering Committee\, Crown of the Continent Executive and Columbia River Treaty Heritage Project Steering Committee. In my free time I assist my community with their governance structure which is proving to be favorable. Taxas! \n  \nPeter Schalk. Having resided in Cranbrook for the last 55 years\, I have been in\, and shopped at\, the historic buildings in Cranbrook. The history and architecture of those buildings are ingrained in my mind and when they are torn down and replaced\, I feel we all lose a piece of our past.\nI have been part of the Cranbrook Community Theatre Society (CCT) for almost 35 years in many capacities: Actor\, builder\, Board member and preservationist.\nSince 2013 I have participated with others in writing grants to renovate our building “the Studio/Stage Door”. We are proud that we have been successful in achieving our goal: to preserve a historic building which was an integral part of Cranbrook’s past. \n  \nFred Williams. Five-years-ago\, my partners and I decided to invest in a heritage building as the location for a craft beer gastropub. We wanted to create a space where people like us could get together and have meaningful conversations while enjoying the best food and beer BC has to offer. A ninety-year-old red brick building was the perfect spot for this social hub. I have a background in business and construction\, but I wanted my next project to contribute to the culture and vibrancy of Cranbrook and allow me to enjoy the Kootenay lifestyle with my family. Like all heritage buildings\, ours had its peculiarities and required creative solutions. My Kootenay life\, depending on the day\, requires me to be a dad\, husband\, housekeeper\, plumber\, electrician\, heritage building restorer\, and bartender. I am grateful for them all. \n  \nDue to recent public health measures\, the panel will be conducted on zoom for the safety of participants and attendees. \n[gravityform id=”8″ title=”true” description=”true”] \nThank you to the East Kootenay Community Credit Union\, without whose funding Ed Talks would not be possible.
