Our Mission Statement:

1) To fulfill the stated wishes of Mack Laing's 1981 Will and Testament: "that my home be used as a natural history museum," as faithfully as possible.

2) To oversee the restoration and maintenance of Mack Laing's home.

3) To maintain and promote the dissemination of Mack Laing's environmental values and legacy.

4) To fundraise annually to maintain a variety of environmental programmes of interest to the general public throughout the Comox Valley and to the Town of Comox.

In 2013, the Mack Laing Committee, an association of members of Comox Valley Naturalists, Project Watershed, and Comox citizens, created The Mack Laing Heritage Society of the Comox Valley. It was incorporated as a B.C non-profit on May 20, 2014.
