Celebrate local heritage as we explore the theme of ‘pastimes in past times’.
Treasure Hunt: a favourite past time of kids (of all ages) is to play with toys. Visit the museum and see if you can find the toys & games hidden in the exhibits. Find them all and win a prize!
Saturday 22 February
10:00-11:00am
Men’s Shed: we’re launching the Sooke Men’s Shed! A great way to pass the time is to build and tinker in the workshop, sharing and learning new skills, building independent or group projects. Join us for an info meeting to find out how it works. Following this info session, if you’re interested in joining the Men’s Shed will be open on the 3rd Saturday of each month, starting March 2025.
11:00am – 3:00pm
All Sooke Day film screening: full of lots of Sooke pastimes, this film was produced by the Sooke Region Museum and is available on our website and at the museum on a small screen. For Heritage Week we’ll project on a bigger screen in the Events Pavilion.
Moss Cottage: Aunt Tilly will tell you all about how she passes the time at home, circa 1902!
Triangle Island Lighthouse: imagine what it was like to live on Triangle Island in 1910. How did the lightkeepers and their families pass their time at this remote outpost?
