If you look closely at the museum’s exterior, you might notice a difference in brick colour that reveals which section was a later addition. This month marks the 70th anniversary since the Courtenay Post Office reopened following the expansion and upgrade.
The added square footage allowed for the Customs Office to move in from the Union Bay Post Office to Courtenay’s bustling downtown. Other tenants included the National Unemployment Insurance office and V.L.A. office, situated on the second floor.
