PAST ISSUES
Fall 2009 : Heritage in Crisis
A number of recent actions by the provincial government have done serious harm to heritage in B.C. Stemming from the current deficit crisis, the cuts and cancellations were in fact just the latest in a trend that goes back almost 20 years. The cumulative effect has been to undo much of what was once widely regarded as the best provincial heritage program in Canada.
This special issue of Heritage BC Quarterly looks at the latest developments, their complex, interconnected impacts, and their effects on B.C. communities.
