WHITNEY PIER HISTORICAL SOCIETY and MUSEUM
Housed in what was once a Jewish Synagogue, the Whitney Pier
Historical Society operates a unique museum dedicated to a
community that developed unlike any other in Canada.
Built around the Steel Plant, "The "Pier" became home to people
from all parts of the globe who came seeking a new life. They
brought with them the riches of deeply rooted cultures that still
enrich our lives today. It is this diversity that we try to
capture and display.
Anyone from the Pier who has said "remember when", is likely to
find tangible evidence of their memories in the many pictures,
newspaper clippings, and artifacts we have gathered over the
years. Faces and events from times past evoke a revival of a
sense of community in all our visitors, regardless of where they
now reside. We are able to present to those who do not know us
well, a chronicle of our daily lives both past and present. It is
a "People Place" where you are encouraged to spend lots of time
browsing. Most folks return more than once because there's always
something new to see or discover.
Any person
interested in the Pier is welcome to become a member. Whether
active or not your interest is important to us. Dues can be
mailed to our Treasurer and a membership card will be issued.
Better still, if you are able, come to a meeting and enjoy a good cuppa' and conversation afterward.
