KITIMAT MUSEUM AND ARCHIVES

Experience

Collaborative Efforts in Nisga’a Cultural Center Development

Ongoing discussions with the District of Kitimat and the Haisla Nation have confirmed the desire to think broadly about the development of a new museum and cultural facility that could serve both communities. Throughout the consultation process, the public has embraced the concept of a new shared cultural facility that would act as a cultural anchor for the community. 

The Kitimat Museum and Archives has already welcomed the Haisla as an integral part of its governance, exhibits and programming. The concept of a dynamic new cultural facility – potentially shared with the Haisla Nation – was the centrepiece of the Kitimat Strategic Plan Museum & Archives Strategic Plan 2020-2030, which was prepared by Luxton.
