[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hi, friends.  On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Revelstoke Heritage
Railway Society, I am pleased to advise that Scott Marsden has joined us as
Executive Director.  

 

Scott is no stranger to the BC museums community, and we are glad he has
returned to BC!  He has held senior management positions in Western and
Northern Canada, including Executive Director at the Red Deer Museum and Art
Gallery, Curator of Museum Collections at the Prince of Wales Northern
Heritage Centre.  He was also Research Associate at Aurora College in
Yellowknife, Northwest Territories and Executive Director at the Haida Gwaii
Museum, on Haida Gwaii.   Scott holds a Ph.D. in Art Education from the
University of Victoria, has a Master of Fine Art degree from York University
and is an Associate of the OCAD University. 

 

During his career, Scott has led community-based initiatives in museums and
art galleries in presenting the rich and diverse stories of communities in
Western and Northern Canada that reflect the diversity of knowledge,
histories, and heritage of various communities. 

 

"We are delighted that Scott Marsden is joining the Society," said President
George Hopkins.  "He brings a strong and diverse set of museum and cultural
resource management skills which will help us continue the progress we have
enjoyed at the Revelstoke Railway Museum and Craigellachie Last Spike site.
His experience with Indigenous peoples is especially noteworthy.  We really
look forward to welcoming him to Revelstoke."  

 

Scott assumed his new role on April 8, 2024, giving us a couple of weeks of
overlap before my retirement from the Museum on April 30th.  Please join me
in congratulating Scott on this cool new opportunity.

 

Cheers!  

 

Jim Cullen

Executive Director (until April 30th!)
