Beaver Club Gala

The museum is delighted to welcome Adam van Koeverden, one of Canada’s most celebrated athletes, as guest host of the 2018 Beaver Club Gala. This October, decked out in his fur trade finery, Adam will be joining us to propose the classic toasts and to regale us with an after-dinner story in the fine traditions of the Beaver Club of yore.
