Crowsnest Pass Ecomuseum Trust SocietyThe Crowsnest Pass Ecomuseum Trust Society is a not-for-profit organization established in 1986 whose main project is the Bellevue Underground Mine.Mission StatementTo preserve, promote, and enhance the Bellevue Underground Mine Tour and Museum. Through collection, preservation, exhibition, research, interpretation, and programming, we will educate and inspire the public about the unique application of art and science to underground mining in the Crowsnest Pass and the important part it played in shaping our diverse community.In 1990, the Ecomuseum opened the re-timbered 300 meters of underground mine tunnel and established displays for daily tours from May until September. We endeavour to make available booked tours for the remainder of the year.Bellevue Underground Mine staff and board volunteers research, interpret, and promote knowledge of coal mining, a significant industry in the Crowsnest Pass. Interpreters provide visitors with a unique insight into our mining heritage through guided tours of an underground coal mine and educational programming. Visitors don authentic mining gear and, with an interpretive guide, experience part of life as a miner as they walk 300 meters through hundred-year-old tunnels of Alberta's only underground coal mine tour. |
