We are so very excited to welcome you all back – it’s been a long journey for all of us!

It’s wonderful to say – the Mattawa Museum will be open for visitors on Saturday morning, July 17th at 9:30 am.

We have new exhibits for you to see, some interactive exhibits and some great draws for fun prizes!

Quilt raffle tickets will be available AND you will actually be able to see this gorgeous quilt on display.

Come meet our new Summer Team – Mia, Amy and Graeme.

Prize …

Jackie donated her prize to the Mattawa Women’s Resource Centre.

THANK YOU for your enthusiastic participation in this contest – we had over 150 entries! The committee narrowed it down to 20 names and then ultimately Makwa was chosen! In order to be fair, everyone who suggested this name had their names entered into a random draw.
