This legacy project is being worked on with the planning of signage and benches for the site to go with a walking tour and a digital book.

The Ioco Townsite turned 100 years old this year, the Museum is creating a digital book which will capture peoples memories of the townsite. If you have memories of the townsite that you would like shared in our digital book please email the museum at [email protected].

A big thanks to Jeff McLellan for organizing the plant fundraiser. It was a success and we really appreciate the support. It was well organized, and the plants were placed right in the car.

We were blown away when someone dropped this off at the Museum. We tried to get their name but all they would say was they were members of the community. MADE OUR DAY! Thank you so much.

The Port Moody Heritage Society is excited about a project that local community member Ana Nagy has started. Ana will be making a series of short films focusing on how COVID has affected individuals within our community. She has started reaching out to community members asking them to share their experiences and we hope after reading more about the project you will want to participate too. Ana will be giving a copy of the short films to the Port Moody Station Museum to add ...to our Covid-19 Collection when the project is completed. Project: "My name is Ana and I live in Coquitlam, BC. There are 7.8 billion people who have been affected by COVID-19. Whether you've caught the virus or know someone who's had it, lost your job or are now working from home, our lives have all changed to some degree. It is this change that I would like to document. Positive or negative, I want to hear each of your experiences. I will making a series of short films made up by a collection of individual stories focusing on how COVID has affected our lives. I'll be asking the following questions: - How have you and your family been affected by COVID-19? - How has it affected you financially? - What is the emotional impact this has had on your life? - We're 7 months into this, do you agree with the measures being taken? - What measures would you change/take away/implement? - What is the one thing you miss/took for granted before COVID? If you'd like to participate you can either send me a video answering these questions and email it to me at [email protected], or we can meet and capture it in person. The final product will be posted at the Port Moody Museum Station and on various social media platforms. Thank you. Bio of Film maker "My name is Ana Nagy. Born in Colombia my family and I migrated to Canada in 2000 and have lived in the Tri-cities ever since. I studied Psychology and Criminology at Simon Fraser University. Became a wife and mother to two little ones, and my journey of building a loving, strong, supportive and productive family is just starting. Becoming a parent has made me realize the importance of being part of a great community. I want to contribute to it by listening and sharing our values with one another. We all have so much in common and can achieve so much if we show respect and allow anyone to freely share their stories and voice their opinions."

It is December 10th and that means our elf is back! Can you spot him? #portmoodymuseum #portmoodyheritagesociety #pomo #portmoodystationmuseum #elfontheshelf #elfontheshelfideas #elf #christmas #museum #museumchristmas #holiday #holidays #holidayseason #christmas2020 #christmasdecor

Yesterday's mystery picture is a police baton from the Port Moody Police Department. You can see this at our current exhibition! #mystermondays #portmoodymuseum #portmoodyheritagesociety #portmoody #canada #camera #throwback #vancouver #vancity

Yesterday’s mystery picture was the ball from a kendama. A kendama is a Japanese toy, similar to the ball and cup game where the goal is to land the ball into a hole. #portmoodymuseum #portmoodyheritagesociety #portmoody #mystermondays #vancouver #vancityhype #museum #throwback #canada #cityofthearts #camera
