Cowichan Bay, Canada Cowichan Wooden Boat Society Full time

**Responsibilities**:
It is estimated that 40% of the time will be curating, cataloguing our exhibits, 30% of the time will be planning Speakers/Workshop Events, 20% of the time will be spent as an ambassador for the Centre, and 10% boat festival activity.

1) Cataloguing of Displays and Inventory - cataloguing/enhancing/completing existing displays and improving our virtual website and social media presence. Presently our Heritage Collection is distributed throughout the facility in one of our 7 exhibits locations: reception displays, mezzanine library, Dwersteg model boats, Cowichan Bay History exhibit, children’s interactive centre, Outboard engine display and Tall Ship Display. The result will be a comprehensive list of what resides at the Centre, where it is located and how to best look after the artifacts. This may involve repositioning some of the displays to improve the flow of the Centre. We also have artifacts that need research done to determine their origin and value to the Centre. This would be part of the cataloguing process.

2) Speakers/Workshop Event Planning - research and develop a roster of maritime oriented speakers/workshops for presentation at the Centre.

3) 38th Annual Wooden Boat Festival (the festival is planned for July 22 and 23, 2023). The Heritage Collection Assistant will join the Festival planning committee to help organize the event.
