The Royal BC Museum's exhibits and galleries are open. The IMAX theatre and BC Archives are closed due to a labour action.
Meet Brent Hayashi, great grandson of Senjiro Hayashi, the Japanese Canadian photographer who opened the Hayashi Photography Studio in Cumberland BC in 1912.
Brent shared a little bit about his family's heritage in the province with us.
