Provincial Roundtables on Heritage

Heritage BC, in partnership with the Heritage Branch, is exploring the influences and practices, values and vision of heritage in the context of community life. We have already met with 15 groups and we have many more meetings planned for Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland in January and February 2019. In total, we will visit 24 BC communities and we expect to speak with over 500 people who will share ideas and aspirations related to heritage and other disciplines.

We will explore eight themes at each meeting:

  • Defining heritage
  • Evolving Practice of Heritage
  • Identity through Heritage
  • Vision and Values for Heritage
  • Future opportunities for Heritage
  • Collaboration Opportunities
  • Economic Impacts
  • Environment Stewardship

The Lower Mainland locations are:

  • Maple Ridge, January 28 (Hammond Community Hall)
  • Vancouver, January 29 (Roundhouse Centre)
  • Burnaby, January 30 (Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre)
  • North Vancouver, January 31 (North Vancouver Museum and Archives)
  • Surrey, February 1 (Museum of Surrey)

The Vancouver Island locations are:

  • Metchosin, February 4 (District of Metchosin Chambers)
  • Victoria, February 5 (Craigdarroch Castle)
  • Nanaimo, February 6 (Nanaimo Museum)
  • Campbell River, February 7 (Museum at Campbell River)

Please use this survey to register for one of the five Lower Mainland meetings.

Please use this survey to register for one of the four Vancouver Island meetings.

About the Provincial Roundtables on Heritage

A series of provincial roundtables exploring the role and influences of heritage throughout BC.

The Purpose

The consultations will bring people together to share ideas, situations, challenges, successes, relationships, and aspirations related to heritage and other disciplines such as museums, archives, archaeology, and arts and culture. The meetings will ensure all sectoral and regional voices are heard and acknowledged, providing opportunities for community members to bring personal, local, and regional perspectives to this important provincial initiative.

With this series of consultations, we want to explore heritage as it is understood and practiced in the broader context of community life.

Who

The consultations will include a broad and diverse participation of people working and volunteering in the heritage, museums, and archives sectors, plus archaeologists, local governments (planners, councillors), cultural workers, and First Nations.

Why

It has been 10 years since the last public consultation that focused on heritage.

Bringing together personal, local, and regional perspectives, the collected information will inform province-wide strategic development and influence program development and delivery, as well as provide a model of community consultation and engagement and a catalyst for collaborations and communications.

The Process

We have developed a workshop presentation that will cover topics ranging from the definition of heritage to its impact on economy and the environment. This will act as a template that can be fine-tuned for each consultation, so that each community can feel connected and respected to the process.

Heritage BC will work with one or more local stakeholders to plan for and facilitate the local consultation. The local stakeholder(s) will help us to fine-tune the process and spread the word throughout the community.

As an organization of provincial scope, Heritage BC recognizes that its members, and the local history and heritage they seek to preserve, occupy the lands and territories of B.C.’s Indigenous peoples. Heritage BC asks its members and everyone working in the heritage sector to reflect on the places where they reside and work, and to respect the diversity of cultures and experiences that form the richness of our provincial heritage.
