We're now at that time of the year - when we trade the blazing orange of summer sunsets, for the blazing orange of pumpkins in the local #farm fields! As we say goodbye to the last weekend of the summer of 2026, we look forward to the #autumn harvest. #LogCabinMuseum #BCag #BuyBC

The last day of the #SaanichFair, with a couple of hours left. Come visit! It's also #LabourDay in #Canada. A holiday since 1894, the movement started in the 1870s, eventually leading to the enactment of the #TradeUnionsAct, confirming the legality of unions in our country! #LogCabinMuseum

We feel seen with this year’s #SaanichFair theme of #SmallButMIGHTY - because the #LogCabinMuseum is certainly that! If you’re coming out to the #SaanichFair today, you’ll find us in the Gallery Building, in the midst of all the action! #FindUsAtTheFair #yyjevents

We’re sad to learn of the loss of the historic Mclver House, which stood for almost 140yrs, in @langleytownship.bsky.social. The Township Archives advise it was built by Murdoch & Annie McIver between 1887 & 1890. Photo credit: #LangleyHeritageSociety #Langley #LangleyHistory #LangleyHeritage

With the number of farm stands & farm markets on the #SaanichPeninsula, we're blessed to celebrate #ButteredCornDay with fresh corn from local family farms. Missed out today? It’s ok - celebrate local corn on the cob tomorrow!😋🌽 #LogCabinMuseum

Another afternoon of hazy skies on the #SaanichPeninsula. This #FlashBackFriday is of another hazy sky view, thanks to BC forest fires. Similar to last month’s post & photo, except this time, the view is obscured to the point that we can’t even pinpoint the location! #LogCabinMuseum #BCWildfire

This month’s new exhibit in the #LogCabinMuseum, is a riff off the #SaanichFair theme of #SmallButMIGHTY. We have put together a curated selection of dioramas and buildings, highlighting the history of the #SaanichPeninsula. Open Saturdays 1-4pm - come visit!😀

Happy #InternationalBeerDay! We have an entire corner of the #LogCabinMuseum dedicated to #beer and public houses of the #SaanichPeninsula of the past. William Towner of #NSaan was one of the first to farm #hops and bring #OastsToTheCoast! Open Saturdays 1-4 to explore.

This undated photo shows Saanich Peninsula resident Millie Horth, watering a monkey puzzle tree from a watering can.💧 Not everyone has watering restrictions (yet), but #HandWatering has been a thing for a long time!🙂 #WaterWiseWednesday #BeWaterWise #LogCabinMuseum #LogCabinMuseumAndArchives

“When his old fence needed replacing last November, Allan Collier didn’t just put up a new fence — he also incorporated a custom miniature museum display.” ~ @timescolonist.bsky.social A wonderful idea! We're fans of all kinds of #museums @ #LogCabinMuseum!😁 www.timescolonist.com/life/design-...

Design 'museum' with no lines, crowds pops up in Saanich neighbourhood

The display case built into Allan Collier’s fence near Playfair Park features examples of Canadian design over the years.

It’s #MovieMonday, so let’s talk about an upcoming movie….about this time on Saturday, August 15th, you could be watching (and singing along?) to #MamaMia, with #SaanichtonVillageAssociation at the Saanich Fairgrounds! We’ll be there too! #yyjevents #LogCabinMuseum

Happy #BCDay! Happy 70th Anniversary, #Dogwood! Call it #WesternDogwood or #PacificDogwood, #CornusNuttallii has been BC’s provincial flower since 1956. DYK? The #dogwood flower is the small white or yellow centre, the "petals" are actually bracts. #BCHistory #LogCabinMuseum

#OTD in 1834, the #SlaveryAbolitionAct came into effect across the British Empire. The Act confirmed #Canada as a free territory for enslaved African Americans; thousands subsequently arrived on #Canadian soil between 1834 & the early 1860s. #EmancipationDay #SaanichPeninsula #LogCabinMuseum

Heard of the #MerlinApp? #MerlinBird app is by @cornellbirds.bsky.social - world leader in the study & conservation of #birds & #biodiversity. It lets you determine the birds around you, and learn more about them. Check out who we’ve met around the #LogCabinMuseum! #FlightFriday #FeatheredFriday 🦅🦉

For #ThrowBackThursday, we’re looking at Capt Steve Nichol’s Talk&Tea on bringing #HawaiiMars to the #BCAviationMuseum. Fascinating details, insider backstory, precise coordination, 2.5yrs of negotiation...a master class in how small museums can achieve big goals. #WeTookNotes 😉 #LogCabinMuseum #TBT

Today is the #CentralSaanich 75th Anniversary. We know what a journey it's been! #LogCabinMuseum has seen the changes, and played a part in shaping the #community it is today. Stop by our tent for photos, and talk to someone who watched planning for #CSaan, unfold around her family’s kitchen table!

Hazy skies from #ForestFires are not a recent occurrence. Here’s a view looking out over the ocean, with the far islands shrouded in #wildfire smoke. Year unknown. #SaanichPeninsula #ThrowBackThursday

“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream”.🍨 On #MysteryMonday last year, we featured an interesting machine. Our favourite theory? It's a hand-crank ice cream maker! Today is #NationalIceCreamDay, though we won’t be making any #IceCream at the #LogCabinMuseum in this beauty. 😁

Got plans for today? We’re open 1-4 - so come explore! We’ve got #HistoricPlacesDays, highlighting #CommunicationThroughPlaceAndTime, as well as a new Children’s display and touch table! Plus lots more to explore, of #SaanichPeninsulaHistory. #LogCabinMuseum #yyjkids #yyjfamilies

Joyful news from @cheknews.ca: @gurdeep.ca is returning to #yyj! We had the pleasure of meeting #Canada's Joy Ambassador in years past. #MaybeOneDay he’ll come dance with us in front of our community Museum! In fact, we're going to manifest it by imagining it!😁 #BreatheInAndBreatheOut
