Thank you 🌹

We express our deepest appreciation to all who have contributed to and continue to support the preservation of Cumberland's history.

The dedication of past and present individuals has been instrumental. The 40th anniversary celebration of Miners Memorial has been truly remarkable.

Join us tomorrow at 11 am at the museum for a guided tour with Dawn Copeman, exploring untold stories of labour history in Cumberland. The museum is open 11-4. In solidarity.
