Be Part of Our History
It’s an understatement to say that we require an immense amount of help to keep our Castle looking and functioning the way it does. We can always use financial gifts, but we welcome volunteers too.
Your support and participation are greatly appreciated as Craigdarroch Castle maintains itself as a vital and relevant part of the Victoria community.
Our thanks to the Government of Canada funding through the Access to Heritage Component of the Museums Assistance Program for funding the Elinor Dunsmuir travelling exhibit.
Craigdarroch Castle gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development. The funds received by Craigdarroch Castle under the Unique Heritage Infrastructure stream of the CERIP program will be used to bring the Kitchen back to the Dunsmuir Era.
We gratefully acknowledge the support of the City of Victoria for their Permissive Property Tax Grant. Their support allows us to dedicate more funds towards the conservation of Craigdarroch Castle.
We Can’t do it Without You
Conserving Craigdarroch is not an easy task. Historic photographs of the building and the surrounding landscape offer invaluable help in understanding how the Castle and its grounds used to look. Have old photographs? We want to hear from you!
Craigdarroch Castle has a dynamic volunteer program that sees a wide range of people sharing their time to provide visitors with the information and stories that make a visit to Craigdarroch a fun, family friendly experience.
We are actively recruiting for docent and gift shop volunteers. If you are interested in meeting interesting people, sharing stories of the building’s occupants and the history of the castle we have openings to fill. If you have retail experience and would like to assist in the gift shop we would love to hear from you.
To find out more about becoming a volunteer please email us at volunteers(-at-)thecastle.ca or telephone us at 250.592.5323.
