Háw'aa Thank You to all our donors
The Dixon Entrance Maritime Museum Society (DEMMS) would like to acknowledge those who gave so generously to the Museum. Thank you for your support!
North Coast Regional District

BC Arts Council
To all the local businesses and artisans who have generously donated to fundraisers over the years, to name a few: Northern Savings Credit Union, Haida House, Haida Gwaii Co-op, TLC Automotive, Maryanne Wettlaufer, Marlene Liddle, Islandwise, Masset Home Hardware, Trevor & Casey Jarvis, Sylvan Daugert, Gwaai and Jaalen Edenshaw, and so many more!
And to the many, many citizens and story-keepers who donated or loaned artefacts, images and stories to the collection making the museum the little treasure of history that it is.
If you or your business is interested in becoming a sponsor for any of the exhibits, please contact the treasurer.
Fundraising
In addition to annual and project-based grants, DEMMS often relies on fundraising efforts to help cover operating costs.
A highlight of the fall season is the beloved Christmas Auction and Social—a festive event made possible by the generous contributions of auction items, art, and appetizers from local businesses and volunteers.
Heartfelt thanks go out to the dedicated board members and community friends whose hard work and support bring this event to life each year.
This event raises enough to cover almost all operating. Check social media for any upcoming event!
