Discrimination, illogical, and patronizing behavior by the security and hall staff. Just like any other Museum, MOA is a clean space with good exhibits, well-staffed, and very spacious museum. Wide hallways, and even if 10-15 people standing in one area or exhibit galleries, it is still wide and spacious. I took a family membership using online portal a day in advance. Ticket desk was nice and courteous and helped us with the entry stamp, gave us two 25c coins for the locker use. Up to this point, everything was good. As can be seen in the photos, my two daughters had two pink small kid backpacks, and wife had a very small handbag. As the photo was taken from up close, they look bigger, but they are 9"Hx5"Lx4W size. The lady staff and the Indian security man at the welcome desk on the left side towards the museum shop immediately told us to keep the bags in the lockers including the water bottles. We happily followed the instructions. I had a selfie-stick, and the security man told me not to extend it. His voice was authoritative and seemed patronizing, but I ignored it. But it did pinch me as I was wondering if he did not see he was talking to an adult. Telling in a loud patronizing voice that you can take the selfie-stick but don't extend it, was hurtful as just a day before I took the family membership, to be treated like this? Well, with all my positive thinking, I ignored it and went around, and took pictures. This time, a hall staff lady came and told me that selfie-sticks are not allowed to be used and not to extend the stick. I told her I won't. After some time, a Filipino security lady came and started telling me that the selfie-sticks are not allowed and I must keep it in the locker. The selfie-sticks can hit exhibits and break things. This was very disrespectful and unacceptable. My selfie stick was not extended. As a new responsible MOA member visiting with family, I was being careful about everything, but two staff gave a reminder but never said to keep the selfie-stick in the locker and the third one coming and telling something different to an adult, that was completely uncalled for and disrespectful. First, I did not extend my selfie-stick. And how did she assume I would break any exhibit with it? Really? I told her that I don't mean any offence, but two other staff didn't tell me to keep the stick in the locker, but I will keep it as a responsible member, but you are talking to an adult and educating me that I can break exhibits was hurtful and unfair. She didn't apologize but said thank you. I had to immediately tell her that you offended me, so do not say thank you to me. This just spoiled my mood and joyful spirit. I did not enjoy my visit after that. Once we are hurt, we see all negative and wrong things going around. True? We were told to keep our bags away that were small and kid bags. We were absolutely fine with it. But then I saw all White people, Asians, and a few Indigenous people were carrying bags bigger than my daughter's and wife's bag. How? Why? See the pictures. They are not of just one or two, but about 10 people with bigger bags. I checked; there were several lockers still available, so how come these Whites, Asians, and Indigenous people were allowed to take bags inside the exhibit hall? One guy wearing blue shirt was leaning on the exhibit arch, and hallway staff were standing right next to him, but no one said anything to him. Why? Isn't this a clear sign of discrimination? Disrespectful and patronizing behavior by the security guards and the hallway staff? It was interesting to observe that the racialized staff were mistreating and discriminating other racialized patrons. It's 2025. Rules apply on people of color, and the rest, they are given a free pass to break those rules. What actions will be taken to solve this issue? Lip service? I'm not a newbie Google reviewer. I'm a level 7 local reviewer. I honestly call out anything that's wrong and give words of appreciation, if I see hard work and something good and right. What happened today with me was completely unacceptable.

I went on Wednesday right at opening and stayed until noon, though I could have easily stayed for the whole day for how much there was to see. The displays in each section offer an equally excellent experience whether you're a visual stroll-through type or a "stop and read everything" museum goer. Personal favourite was the Bill Reid Rotunda, where you can see his large and small works while walking alongside the history of the artist and the contributions he made to Pacific Northwest art. Another highlight was the multiversity room, which is like having access to the "other half" of a museum, since the curators have put EVERYTHING on display in some capacity. While a selection of items are placed in glass cases and are visually organized, the remaining items are available to look at and explain in the drawers below most display cases. What I appreciated most about how this was organized was that there were explanations for items that were partially on display (sacred items that the curators have communicated with the given community and asked how to respectfully be in possession of the item), sometimes the items were described in writing but were in boxes, and in one instance, the items were wrapped in a blanket as this is how they would be stored by the community - and if you belonged to the community of a partially displayed item, you could ask to arrange to see it (which I think is an amazing approach). I definitely will be coming back, as I'm sure I only saw about a quarter of the collection at best in my half-day visit. Also worth noting, no bags or water bottles are allowed with the museum itself - there are lockers near the washrooms, and if you choose not to get a locker, you can leave your water bottle at the front desk. Photos are allowed, but no flash as some items are photosensitive. Accessibility notes: there's a lot of seating available throughout the multiversity room and the Rotunda, and there are ramps as well as stairs to access each space of the museum (including the washrooms and gift shop), and the writing on the information plaques are a standard size, though the lighting is somewhat dimmer in the multiversity room, so you may need to approach the display case more closely to see the written information (though some are lower than standing eye level).

Iona Beach: A Challenging 8km Scenic Walk

I am sorry to say that I have been selfish in not talking about one of my favourite walks for fear of it being overcrowded. But to share something beautiful makes it more beautiful. (Or something like that). I am personally not so keen on the jetty walk but other people like it. What I really enjoy is the nature walk at the end of the road. My pictures reflect the clockwise direction. Bring your own snacks and water. It might be wise to keep your small dog on a leash. Last time we were there I took a picture of what I thought was dog poop but with all of the seeds in it that didn’t make any sense until later we saw a very well behaved coyote. Don’t freak out. They usually leave you alone if you leave them alone. Do NOT feed it, keep your small dog on a leash. Don’t run away and if you are jogging alone probably a good idea to carry a sturdy hiking pole. If you are there during a low tide you get to walk along the North Fraser. You can go far or not so far. We very much enjoy this special place and hope you do as well. They are talking about upgrading the processing plant so I am not sure if that will affect our future access. Hopefully not !

What a majestic and incredible walk/experience!! It is a gated park and has plenty of parking space. There is a large, wide and long pier that you can walk. Markers on the ground tell you how far you have to get to the end and how far you have to get back (2 km etc). There are lower and higher platforms to walk along and the area is pet friendly. Once you reach the end of the pier there is a larger platform with railings looking out at an absolutely breathtaking view of the ocean and mountains. Watching the sunset from the platform is one of the prettiest sunsets I have ever seen (the pictures do not do it justice). The gates close at 7pm so be sure to give yourself plenty of time to leave so you don’t get locked in. I thoroughly enjoy my experiences here. I am always taken aback by the beauty of Mother Nature and Iona Beach Regional Park is a fabulous, well maintained and safe way to enjoy “her”. ***IF YOU FOUND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL KINDLY “LIKE” IT***

The trail is good and all, but coming here with such unnecessary trouble was disgusting, a lot of signs placed stating the gate closes at 7:00PM and we arrived there about 6:50pm we were about to cancel and just go home, many people were already leaving and we decided to park somewhere else which was a 30 minute walk away from the trail, We did all of this just for the gate TO NOT CLOSE AT ALL, Shame on you for whoever do this making people who arrived around 6:30 already leaving just because of these signs which scare people. The gates dont close at 7pm, in fact they don’t close at all. I hope you guys can fix this by just getting rid of the 7pm limit because obviously you guys aren’t closing it at 7pm
