It was such an incredible experience with an incredible group of volunteers, thanks, Roy. We’ll have more photos from this experience on another Film Friday. #Kamloops
Geometric lines of the Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum
When the Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum opened in 2015, it was our first common good project. We led the communications and dignitary team for the grand opening, along with a whole bunch of other random tasks. #Wembley #JurassicWorld
Over five years, Tim was part of a large team of volunteers and staff who worked to open a museum. This included connecting with other nearby museums, such as Tumbler Ridge – part of the fossil freeway. #BritishColumbia
For context, in one (short) summer alone, they excavated four full pachyrhinosaurus skulls, including one with scales intact!
While the chance encounter resulted in a years-long friendship, Roy also immediately voluntold Tim 😆 into a role to help build the Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum in Wembley, just outside Grande Prairie and minutes from one of the densest bonebeds in the world. #GrandePrairie
Years later, Roy Bickell would be a friend and mentor who supported Tim as he started Butterfly Effect Communications. Roy was witty, energetic, and always up for exploring. Sadly, he died days before the company began operations.

Fossils for this week's 10th Anniversary, as the Currie Dino Museum was hatched the same year! #FilmFriday
Our company began in Grande Prairie, where, in his first week living there, Tim had a chance encounter with someone responsible for bringing many fossils to life. #Volunteer
