Official British Columbia ÉCONOMUSÉE® Launch

The first ÉCONOMUSÉE® in British Columbia officially launched at Merridale Estate Cidery last Friday.  We are pleased to have been involved in this pilot project and enjoyed working with Janet and Rick from Merridale, Pascale Knoglinger, project manager for the Société de développement économique de la Colombie-Britannique and researcher Jenny Horn from Vancouver Island University.   

The partners for the pilot program

George Taylor Me'las of the Kwakwaka'wakw Nation and Artistic Director of
the Le-la-la Dance Company

Together we worked on incorporating the 6 ÉCONOMUSÉE® components including signage, exhibits and self-guided tour brochures for the cidery.
