The British Mining Museum was established in 1971 to protect and make more people aware of British Columbia's mining history and related technologies. Participate in the activities of going down the mine in the museum, get on the mine truck, put on a lighted safety helmet and enter the mine, observe the surroundings of the mine and listen to the museum tour guide to explain the mine operations and the life of the miners. The Mining Museum is also very suitable for bringing children together. Children can experience the gold rush in the big waves and find gold from the water, which is very interesting.

On the Haitian Highway from Whistler to Vancouver, I saw the sign of Britannia Mine and had this introduction: In 1888, Dr. A. A. first discovered copper in Britannia, and the Britannia mine was established in 1899. The sea is beautiful and the mountains are rigid. There is a building built on the side of the road, which is Britannia Mine Museum.
