Transition 2017<br />
In order to facilitate the best possible shared operational opportunities, in 2015 the Bralorne-<br />
Pioneer Museum signed a management agreement with BRVCA. BRVCA, through its Heritage<br />
Committee will manage the operations of the Bralorne-Pioneer Museum going forward.<br />
In July 2017, The Bridge River Valley Community Association purchased the Bralorne Pioneer<br />
Mines Motel (nee Office) with the intention of relocating the Bralorne Pioneer Museum into the<br />
building.<br />
It is the intent of the Bridge River Valley Community Association in partnership with the Bralorne<br />
Pioneer Museum Society to create a space for the Museum that will become an attraction for<br />
visitors and a place to celebrate the area’s rich heritage.<br />
The Bralorne Pioneer Mines Motel, first opened in 1939 and was the site of the Bralorne Pioneer<br />
Mines Office. Now that the building has been purchased, the next step will be to renovate a<br />
significant portion of the building to become the new home of the Bralorne Pioneer Museum,<br />
which was established in 1977.<br />
The remainder of the building will be activated for purposes of revenue generation, including long<br />
term rentals of both office space and residential, a gift shop and coffee shop. The revenue streams<br />
will create new professional jobs in the community and will also help to ensure the ongoing<br />
maintenance of an important heritage building.
