Hi there! My name is Gavin Croteau. I am the new Museum Assistant for the summer! This is my first time working in a museum, and I am incredibly excited to be working here and learning more about the rich history of the Sunshine Coast. I was born and raised on the Sunshine Coast, a beautiful place to call home, with miles of beaches and forests to explore. I went to Chatelech Secondary School and am currently studying history at the University of Victoria. I have always been passionate about history, and I am thrilled to spend my summer immersed in the Coast’s past while discovering a potential career in museum studies.
I am most excited to learn aspects of working behind the scenes in a museum. I am really looking forward to cataloging artifacts, conducting research for upcoming exhibitions, and maintaining the museum’s archives. I love diving into historical documents and objects, piecing together the stories they tell about our community's past. Each artifact holds a unique narrative, and it’s incredibly fulfilling to help bring those stories to light.
In the Museum's Archives I found this amazing picture of the Sechelt waterfront and Union steamship. Having walked along the waterfront many times over the years it's incredible to see how its change from 1947.
