The Gill Net Rug Raffle is Back! Buy Your Tickets!

Our ever-popular Gill Net Rug Raffle is on now! This year’s stunning rug is extra special — all of its colours come from a single rug sourced from Oceans Net Loft in Prince Rupert, making it truly one of a kind.

Thank you to Heather Orr Lansdowne for her amazing support over the years, gifting these beautiful hand-crafted rugs to help the museum fundraise. We are so grateful!

Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20, available every day at the museum from 12 pm to 4 pm. You can also e-transfer us (please include your name and phone number in the memo line, or email us your contact details) and we’ll fill out your tickets for you.

The draw will take place on September 30, 2025. Don’t miss your chance to win a piece of fishing heritage turned art! If you are new to learning about gill net rugs, check out our permanent exhibition of how they are made.
