If you would like to support the outreach the Britannia Mine
Museum is doing on behalf of the mineral exploration and
mining industry in B.C., consider becoming an individual
member. Aside from unlimited visits and other visitor
benefits, you will receive an invitation to the annual
general meeting and have a voice in the museum's future
development. Visit BritanniaMineMuseum.ca
Kamloops and Vancouver Island. About 40 per cent of non-school
visitors come from the Lower Mainland and another 15 per cent
from elsewhere in B.C. and Canada; 20 per cent are international
visitors. In 2018, 76,000 people visited the museum and Clausen is
hoping to reach 80,000 in 2019 and tick over 110,000 by 2022.
"That is a very realistic goal for us," says Clausen, "We'll have to
continually add new experiences to grow the visitation."
AME supports the Britannia Mine Museum financially through
the outreach fund, and with technical advice. "We're not miners,"
says Clausen. "Our sta˜, myself and our team, we really value the
subject of mining, but we're approaching it from an education
perspective. We're educators, historians, communicators. We're
tourism experts.
"AME has always recognized that we can be that voice into the
public in a way that is di˜erent than how AME may be able to do it,"
says Clausen. "Think of us as part of the industry."
