Hope Meets Action: Echoes through the Continuum
February 13, 2024 - April 22,2024
“The BC Black History Awareness Society in partnership with the Royal BC Museum presents Hope Meets Action: Echoes Through the Black Continuum, the story of Afro-diasporic “British Columbia” history, past, present and future. Black “British Columbian” history has long been whitewashed in the annals of colonial history. Against the backdrop of white-centring walls, this exhibit daylights the living and ongoing history of Black belonging, told in this manner by the Black community for the first time.
Written, told and designed by Black voices, this exhibition reclaims and retells the complicated history of stolen people on stolen land, and how the contributions of Black leaders echo across the centuries into the present.”

INTRODUCING
THE NEW
POMO MUSEUM
VISUAL IDENTITY
Say hello to the POMO Museum.
As a beloved Port Moody institution, this new design direction is inspired by the distinct and illustrious history of Port Moody and the station building, as well as its enviable location close to the Burrard Inlet.
“The new name, look, and positioning embraces the changing, diverse, multicultural community that surrounds us. We wanted to create a brand that would resonate with everyone if you live, work, play, and visit here”
Our POMO Museum
The POMO Museum, built-in 1908, was the second railway station built in Port Moody. The first was the 1882 Western Terminus Station which was demolished in 1961.
The museum is owned and operated by the Port Moody
Heritage Society.
The station, designed to be a live-in unit, consists of two floors and a basement. The main floor is accessible to the public as the main display area; the top floor is being used for administration and the basement is collection storage and washrooms.
