Langley Advance from Langley, British Columbia, Canada • 14

14a THE LANGLEY ADVANCE, Nqv. 12. 1980. Attendance drop at municipal museum development project was undertaken in July. Parks foreman Herb Jones planned the project and greatly assisted its completion by ordering mulch, plants (berberis), and 6x6 retainers.

Parks crews killed the preexisting grass and removed the excess bark mulch. The museum's 1980 contingent of Fraser Highlanders dug the holes, planted, fertilized, and watered the plantings and assisted with the final cleanup. It is expected that the plantings museum's Summer Youth Employment Programme project leader photographed and mounted the enlargements and typed Members of the Langley Camera Club made enlargements from our negatives and volunteer Barbara Mascoe typed the final text. After a 10-day showing at the MuseumNEC the exhibit moved to the Willowbrook Mall. Grounds Development The museum's grounds and retainers will reduce vandalism and grounds maintenance problems.

UBC Summer Intern The museum's intern from the UBC Museum of Anthropology, concluded her work at the end of August. Her project was funded by the National Museums of Canada and administered by the YBC Museum. Her work for us centered on the development of a Coast Salish School programme for delivery by our docents to grade 4 classes. The programme has now been completed and includes notes for teachers and for docents, follow-up materials, in-museum workshop activities, and a pre-visit slide kit. Noel Booth General Store Collection The collection bought by the museum (on the recommendation of the Museum Advisory Committee, and approved by council) was brought to the museum on August 28th.

The curator rented a Tilden truck and moved (Continued on page 16a) booking here in September. Langley Heritage Exhibit This exhibition was. developed by the Langley Centennial Museum with advice from the Museum Advisory Committee, the Langley Heritage Society, members of the Langley Heritage Advisory Committee, and with the financial aid of the British Columbia Heritage Trust. The The Langley municipal Centennial Museum had fewer visitors this past summer than in 1979 but other places of interest suffered the same reduction, a report from' the museum curator, Warren Sommer, states. The report, received by council on Monday, told the story of the attendance drop and also recounted the highlights of the past season.

In it, Sommer said: Attendance: July, 1980: 4,322 (5,130 in 1979; 3,022 in 1978). August, 1980: 3,826 (4,484 in 1979; 2,981 in 1978). Attendance at the MuseumNEC was somewhat disappointing this summer, but was part of a broader Fort Langley National Historic Park did not increase its visitor volumes either. While attendance at the Langley Centennial Museum and NEC was substantially higher than in 1978, it was nonetheless down by 16 per cent from 1979. Lessened attendance can be attributed to a reduced Ftaser Highlanders presence, poor weather early in July, and to the Mt.

St. Helens scare (we had virtually no visitors from California this summer). Carle Hessay Exhibition An unexpected but pleasant spin-off from this show has been the donation to the museum by Mrs. Maidie Hihno of two Carle Hessay watercolours. The two pictures were accepted by the Museum Advisory.

Committee with letters of thanks coming from the-mayor (at the. suggestion of Aid. Blair in view of the extreme generosity of the donation) and from the curator. Donations for the Carle Hessay Memorial Scholarship fund of the Langley Arts Council were received at the MuseumCentre during the run of the show a total of $72.60. This brings the fund to almost $1,000.

The fund is intended to assist promising Langley artists to advance their skills. Land of the Maple Leaf, Home of the Beaver This exhibition came to us from the National Museum of Man in Ottawa. It was chosen for July and August because of its appeal to the large numbers of tourists visiting the MuseumNEC during those months. The exhibition was set up by the curator with the assistance of two Fraser Highlanders. Programming for the show included a series of weekend films relating to Canada, Maples and Beavers.

Towards the end of the exhibition advertising was circulated to promote our 'Beaver Days', and invitations were sent to-all Langley 'Beaver' Scouts. Visiting Beavers received a free Maple Leaf and Beaver button and a personal of the show from our summer museum interpreter, Kim Messent. Due to a booking error in Victoria (the Provincial Museum circulates National Museum shows in B.C.), the exhibition had to leave two weeks earlier than planned. Staff took the opportunity to fill, sand, and repaint the NEC; with the just-completed Langley Heritage Exhibit filling the gap between travelling shows. Total attendance for Maple Leaf Beaver was 5,656.
