New programs
Each summer HAMM mounts a unique temporary exhibition in the EC. In 2024 we honoured the 80th anniversary of the sinking the corvette HMCS ALBERNI in August. This was in two locations: Courtenay in a rented hall for a tribute film with distinguished speakers and guests and on the Isle of Wight with the participation of our Assistant Director Bob Sackett and local residents in Lawrence for the installation of a memorial bench facing the English Channel. The event on the Isle of Wight where the ship sank created new connections between the musuem and residents of the UK.
