Move the Maritime Museum of BC into the Steamship Terminal Building!

Move the Maritime Museum of BC into the Steamship Terminal Building!

The Issue

The Maritime Museum of BC has a comprehensive plan to move into the Steamship Terminal Building in Victoria's Inner Harbour. Since its move out of Bastion Square in 2015, the Maritime Museum of BC has been in a small store front facility where its exhibits and programs have been limited, while the collection is stored off site.

Moving the Maritime Museum of BC into the Steamship Terminal Building will give it a water front location to offer new activities for locals and tourists, making it a cultural gem for downtown Victoria. This will help raise the tourism profile of Victoria and give locals more cultural based activities to do. 

This decision is up to the Provincial Government, who owns the building. Now is the perfect time to tell them that you want your Maritime Museum of BC to move into the Steamship Terminal Building now that three of the four floors of the building are vacant. By signing the petition, you're saying that you want this publicly owned, historic building to be used for cultural purposes and returned to public use. Sign today and get the Maritime Museum of BC a new home in the Steamship Terminal Building!
