Matthew believes in the power of community building through the shared exploration of cultural history. Through his experiences working as a heritage professional, he has seen the magic that can occur when people are encouraged to make meaningful connections with artifacts and archives. Working at the Museum since 2011, Matthew was the project lead on the award-winning Time Travel Sunshine Coast project, and has worked intensively with community members in the co-curation of exhibits, interpretive content, and educational programs. Matthew holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Guelph and a diploma in Cultural Resource Management from the University of Victoria. When not at the Museum, you will find him in the Coast Mountains, or swimming at Secret Beach.

Lucy Wolchock-Brown
Museum Assistant |
Lucy is joining the museum staff as the Museum Assistant for the summer of 2022. She’s one year into a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of British Columbia, and is hoping to major in either art history or anthropology. This is her first museum job, and she’s excited to learn more about what goes into running a community museum and preserving history. When she’s not at work, Lucy enjoys going to the local beaches, as well as working on a few art projects.
