Get Involved
The Boundary Museum Society (BMS) exists to serve both our community and the many wonderful visitors who pass through it. We always have a variety of projects on the go, and welcome any assistance from the community. Below you can learn about current job opportunities, volunteer opportunities, and how to donate.
Work With Us
All job opportunities have been filled for the 2012 season. Thank you to all those that applied. There will be student job opportunities again next year so please watch the Young Canada Works site and our web-site for updates.
If you think you might be interested in working for the Museum next year, I would advise prospective student employees to come by the Museum and introduce yourself. (we are friendly!) If you have a little extra time, offer to volunteer - a couple of hours, a day - whatever - you might find something you really enjoy.
