Board & Volunteers
The People Behind the Mission
The Lake of Bays Marine Museum and Navigation Society is powered entirely by volunteers — passionate individuals who give their time, expertise, and energy to preserve the maritime heritage of Lake of Bays. From our dedicated Board of Directors to the crew who welcome you aboard the SS Bigwin, every person plays a vital role.
Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors provides governance, strategic direction, and oversight for the Society. Board members are elected by the membership and serve on a volunteer basis.
Board member profiles coming soon.
Our Volunteer Team
It takes a remarkable team to keep the SS Bigwin sailing and the museum doors open. Our volunteers include:
- Captains & Crew — Licensed operators and deckhands who ensure safe, enjoyable voyages
- Museum Docents — Knowledgeable guides who bring the museum’s exhibits to life
- Event Coordinators — The organizers behind our gala, community events, and special cruises
- Maintenance Team — Skilled tradespeople who keep the vessel and museum in top condition
- Administrative Support — Behind-the-scenes helpers who manage bookings, communications, and operations
