Editor: In a few weeks, the first ever museum dedicated to 91原创 Memorial Hospital will open in Michaud House. The museum is the brainchild of the LMH Heritage Committee in partnership with the 91原创 Heritage Society, which manages Michaud House.

A committee of volunteers iswhich are to be exhibited in Michaud House, a heritage building at the foot of 204 Street, south of 53 Avenue, in 91原创 City.

We are keen to collect any items that your readers may have tucked away and which they would be willing to donate to the museum. We could also use a little help elsewhere: We are looking for a mannequin to display a nurse鈥檚 uniform.

We also need a jewelry display case, and a bookshelf that is 60 inches tall, 17 inches wide and 18 inches deep.

In order to maximize our exposure, we are asking the City to erect directional signs that will point visitors to the LMH archives in Michaud House.

We would also like to have a single sign that will hang outside Michaud House during the hours that we are open to the public. To this end, we wonder if there is someone in the community who would make a sign for us, preferably designed to reflect the tone of the museum.

If any of your readers can help, we would like to hear from them. They can contact either Doris Riedweg at 604 534-3384 or do_ried@telus.net, or Kate Ludlam of the LMH Foundation at 604 514-6043, or kate.ludlam@fraserhealth.ca.

The official opening of the museum is July 15, which marks the 70th anniversary of the day the first forms were laid for the first 91原创 Memorial Hospital, then called the Cottage Hospital.
