InternationAL Museum Day

BC Museums Week

Museums and heritage sites are important in helping deepen our understanding of our communities, and are important threads in our shared social fabric.

For #InternationalMuseumDay and #BCMuseumsWeek, please tell us what museums mean to you. What does the Saanich Pioneer Museum mean to you? Please share your thoughts with us - we’re collecting your comments. Please tag us on social media and we encourage you to use #IMD2023 and #BCWM23.

We present here a mere glimpse into the Saanich Pioneer Museum for #MuseumDay - please visit us in-person on Saturdays from 1-4pm to view all that we have! (Closed Satudays on long weekends)

What's In Our Museum?

Toys, Games, & Pastimes

We have a collection of toys and games - jacks, cards, dominoes, tea sets, and more. Find your favourite in the toy cabinet.

The Parlour

The parlour was a place to gather the family round - to visit, to sing along. How would you spend your time here?

Laundry Day

Doing a load of laundry was a load of work in pioneer times - nothing like the convenience that most of us enjoy today!

In The Kitchen - a visitor favourite!

One of our most popular, and well-visited displays.

Around The Farm

We have items large and small - farm implements, equipment, branding irons, and lots more. All reflective of the farming and agricultural history of the Saanich Peninsula.

Our Shared History

We were honoured to be gifted chips and shavings from the cedar log that Mungo Martin carved into the world's tallest totem!
