the Port Moody Heritage Society
The Port Moody Historical Society (PMHS) began as a group of interested citizens in the mid 1960s with the desire to preserve some of the history of the area and create a museum. The Port Moody Historical Society was incorporated June 15, 1969. A museum was set up in a portable at the corner of Kyle and George Street. The Museum was set up on May 23, 1973. Volunteers operated the Museum. In 1978, the Society purchased the Port Moody Station and moved it to its present location on Murray Street and refurbished it to be a museum facility; it officially opened on July 1, 1983. In 1983, the Port Moody Historical Society changed its name to the Port Moody Heritage Society. View below on how to join the board of directors.
Port Moody Heritage Society is currently looking for energetic people to join our Board of Directors. We are a non-profit organization whose mission is to support heritage and education surrounding the Burrard Inlet. Our members and staff strive to support the community and drive efforts toward heritage conservation through development of exhibitions and collections, as well as advocate for various historic sites of significance such as the IOCO Townsite.
Our Board of Directors provides guidance and leadership on the strategic direction of Pomo Museum. Members who are recruited should be committed to supporting heritage in our community, willing to fulfill the duties of a board member and volunteer their time, talents and other resources to ensure our success.
