Brown Bag Lecture: January 10, 2017
Speaker : Chandra Wong
Topic : 75 Years of the Fort St. John Hospital
In the early 1930s, a call went out for a hospital in Northern BC. The Sisters of Providence took up the challenge of running one of the most remote hospitals of its time with the support of the people of the community. Hear how they met the many challenges encountered as Chandra Wong, Penticton Museum & Archives staff, describes the history of the Fort St. John Hospital.
The Penticton Museum will be hosting another popular series of Brown Bag Lectures every Tuesday from noon – 1pm in the Fall and Spring. Anyone wanting to spice up their lunch hour with interesting presentations and discussions on a variety of heritage and culture topics are encouraged to come to the museum auditorium and enjoy some great brain food.
Presentations are in the Museum Auditorium (785 Main St) and include coffee, tea and confections.
Admission is by donation.
Suggested donation is $2 for adults, $1 for children
