Russian songs echoed across the valley at the traditional Doukhobour prayer meeting began the museum’s Grand Opening celebrations. Visitors were invited to experience and ask questions about this Doukhobor ritual. Following the prayer meeting, museum board members and community partners such as the USCC, Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, the City of Grand Forks participated in a Tree Planting Ceremony. Representatives of each organization took a turn planting a lilac tree to symbolize the continuing support, friendship, and good will, between the Boundary Museum and its partners. After the ceremony, everyone was invited to partake in the Strawberry Social. Visitors spent the sunny afternoon enjoying the new shade shelter, and were treated to strawberry shortcake donated by Buy-Low foods, refreshments, and other homemade treats. Did you miss this event?
