We’re honoured to support a treasured community amenity and tourist destination in the dynamic Shipyards District AND the excellent services at the Archives of North Vancouver in Lynn Valley.

Since opening in December 2021, tens of thousands of guests from around the world have participated in programs and events at MONOVA, and have visited our galleries to discover, learn and connect. In this time MONOVA has hosted engaging school and public programs and events, including the thought-provoking Connections Speakers Series and Coast Salish Cultural Programs; held our first-ever Pride events in 2023; and welcomed the community to commemorate National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. In April of 2023, MONOVA’s work was recognized by the Canadian Museums Association with an award for outstanding achievement in the area of Social Impact for our Main Exhibit Gallery.
