This photograph offers a glimpse of life at Haig-Brown House beyond the books and public accomplishments. A quiet moment in the study, surrounded by shelves of books and always keeping an eye on the natural world outside his window.

Congratulations to Tamara and Nick on their beautiful wedding day at Haig-Brown House. 💐

There were tears of joy, plenty of laughter, and a wonderful sense of love and connection as family and friends gathered for their intimate garden ceremony.

The celebrations continue with lawn games on the grounds before family and friends head to the Maritime Heritage Centre for the reception.

It was a pleasure to be part of your special day. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together. ❤️

One of the nicest parts of running Haig-Brown House is meeting people who are making memories together.

Recently, three cousins stayed with us while exploring Campbell River. They enjoyed a spot prawn feast at Crabby Bob’s, visited the Museum, shared stories around the breakfast table, and left us this lovely review:

“We were looking for a stay that was different from the typical and found this to be a true gem.”

Thank you for choosing Haig-Brown House as part of your adventure. Safe travels, and we hope your paths cross again.
