The volunteer work of today follows on the heels of the incredible dedication of the Sooke Lions Club and the Sooke Community Association in getting the museum established in the first place. Back in the mid-1970s it was the wonderful spirit and hard work of the Sooke Lions that initiated the project, and it was the generosity and community spirit of the volunteers of Sooke Community Association that provided the property where it could be built. It is because of these groups and many others that have joined in to support the Sooke Region Historical Society, that the museum has become a cornerstone of community life.
If you’ve got some spare time and energy that you would like to offer, please give us a call at (250) 642-6351, drop by to chat with us, or simply complete the form below.
The Sooke Region Museum is committed to upholding the values of equity, diversity, and inclusion throughout all aspects of our operations. We encourage volunteers from all backgrounds to apply.
The SRM is committed to addressing barriers to accessibility within the museum’s facilities and operations. We acknowledge that the SRM may not meet the needs of all visitors, staff, and volunteers, but we are continually working to decrease access barriers by making changes to the museum’s operations and facilities when feasible.
Current access barriers within the museum include several areas that are only accessible by stairs, manual doors, and narrow pathways throughout the main building. Applicants are encouraged to raise accessibility concerns with the relevant department manager.
