The BC Museum of Mining invites you and your students to experience an educational tour unlike any other. It's not just a train ride underground and it's not just about mining. It's a multi-sensory experience that delivers the Britannia story, one of the largest copper mines of the 20th century through a blend of fun and education. We have an engaging, fascinating, authentic story to tell about one of BC's early communities. The underground and site tour offers first hand the role and processes of natural resources and mineral extraction. It also relates the present to the past for your students, through the exploration of what it was like to live and work here. We also offer a Gold Panning option, our guides will show your students "how", then give them time to find the gold. They're guaranteed to find gold and keep it!
