Verbal Report: Mayor Clay / File: 7705-01
Tonight’s Art at Council is an artifact from the Port Moody Station Museum’s collection. This First Nation basket was acquired by Robert Lennie, a Baptist Minister. He came to New Westminster in 1885 and travelled the area preaching. In his travels, he traded and collected a wide variety of First Nation baskets, this example being one of the largest.

The First Nations used baskets for a wide variety of uses, including cooking On April 20th between 10am and 2pm the Port Moody Station Museum will be utilizing different baskets for their annual Easter Egg Hunt.
