SUMMARY:Behind-the-Scenes Collection Tour
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered what’s behind those Staff Only doors at your favourite museums? Now’s your chance to find out. Join us at the Maritime Museum of BC for a look behind the scenes. Each month\, one of our Collections Tour Guides will lead a small group through a particular aspect of our collection.  \n\n\n\nThis month’s guide is Gene Fedderly with a look at the MMBC’s uniform collection.  \n\n\n\nParticipants should meet in the lobby of 4000 Seymour Place at 1 pm on Friday\, September 27th. The tour will take place from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm.  \n\n\n\nTours are limited to six participants and must be booked at least 24 hours in advance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Your Guide: \n\n\n\nGene Fedderly was born in 1963 in Edmonton\, Alberta and grew up primarily in nearby Sherwood Park. At 13 he joined the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets and underwent summer training at HMCS QUADRA in Comox.  He joined the Naval Reserve at HMCS NONSUCH in 1980 and in 1981 enrolled in the Regular Officer Training Plan. He graduated from Royal Roads Military College with a BSc in 1985 and completed Maritime Surface officer training at HMCS VENTURE in 1986. Gene then joined his first operational ship\, HMCS TERRA NOVA\, where he achieved his Bridge Watchkeeping Certificate\, and after specialty training carried on as her Above Water Warfare Officer. He served in a variety of seagoing and staff positions on the West Coast\, retiring from the Royal Canadian Navy in 2013 with the rank of lieutenant-commander. He transferred to the Cadet Training Organization in 2015 and spent the next five summers as a staff officer at HMCS QUADRA. Gene spent his naval career with a keen interest in tradition and ceremonial\, and commenced volunteering with the Maritime Museum in 2021 on updating the cataloguing of the uniform collection.
