Heritage Thursdays
Heritage Thursdays is a weekly Thursday afternoon children's program that operates in the summer. Each year the program is based on a popular or pertinent theme.
Heritage Thursdays afternoons run from 1:00 - 3:00 PM during the summer with a fee of $10 per child, ages 5-12. Each session will have a craft, activity, and snack. For more information or to register please contact the museum (there are limited drop-in spaces) at 604-465-4322, or by email at pittmeadowsmuseum@telus.net.
Heritage Thursdays 2025 returns this year from July 10th through to August 14th! The theme will be released in late May.

I have questions!
Do we need to bring anything? You do not need to bring anything to the sessions. We supply everything, all the supplies for the crafts and a small snack (usually fruit). We do encourage everyone to bring a water bottle, but it is not required.
Do I have to sign up? Signing up is very strongly encouraged as the summer sessions are extremely popular and we have to close registrations as soon as we reach around 30 children.
Do you expect the parents to stay during the session? We do not expect parents to stay. Most parents like to take the two-hour session to run errands or have a break during the summer.
Where do the sessions take place? We run all of the sessions out of the General Store Site of the Museum. If the day is too hot, we stay inside, but usually, we run the sessions on the back patio and garden of the site.
Where can we park? We close off a chunk of our parking lot during the sessions to give a buffer for the children who are playing. There is limited parking off our main parking lot (accessed through the West Coast Express parking lot at the rear of the General Store site),and if that lot is full we have a secondary parking lot at the Hoffmann and Son site across the street from our main site. Parking is free for visitors to the Museum.
Wait! I have more questions! If you do, please feel free to email or call us and we will do our best to answer them.
