February 17 to 23 is Heritage Week in BC, and Bowen is recognizing the occasion with a display featuring memories of moments gone by on the island. The project is a collaboration of the Bowen Island Museum & Archives, Bowen Island Heritage Preservation Association, and the Bowen Island Public Library. Hosted in the Library annex, the display features photos, documents, art, textiles, and more which recognize the theme of this year’s Heritage Week - Pastimes and Past Times. A heavy focus is placed on local events, including past versions of the island’s premiere festival Bowfest, fishing derbies, and Bowen’s deep history with the game of baseball. Many moments are also explored from more day-today activities, such as camping, dancing and swimming around town. The display is open to visit at the Library until this Sunday, Feb. 23. Meanwhile, take a look throughout the paper for a preview of what you can find there - and see which Islanders you recognize from past decades.
