Project Overview
We invite BMO employees to join us at MONOVA: Museum & Archives of North Vancouver for a hands-on volunteer opportunity supporting our Wool Weaving Program: an initiative designed to educate youth and local community members about the history and ongoing revitalization of traditional Coast Salish Wool Weaving.
Volunteers will assist with assembling wool weaving kits that will be utilized for school groups as part of MONOVA’s fall educational programming. These kits provide tangible, culturally respectful ways for students to engage with Coast Salish artistry, oral storytelling, and community tradition throughout the academic year. This in-person volunteer opportunity will enable BMO to support MONOVA in our mission to create engaging and educational experiences to reflect on our past, understand our present, and build our future together.
This project is part of a larger celebration within MONOVA that honours the resurgence of wool weaving within the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and səl̓ílwətaɬ First Nations. It is designed in consultation with Indigenous educators and knowledge keepers. Striving to connect the stories of North Vancouver’s past, present, and future, MONOVA aims to foster dialogue, deepen understanding, and reflect the diversity of the lands on which we operate. BMO employees will support the hands-on side of this work, supporting Indigenous-led knowledge sharing and youth cultural education in a direct and impactful way.

With BMO’s support, we can bring to life the powerful stories of the Coast Salish people through high-quality programs. Thank you for considering our application. We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with BMO to deliver meaningful, community-driven volunteerism.
