Discover BC’s industrial past with our new interactive map, featuring significant sites submitted by the public.
After a thorough submission and evaluation process, Heritage BC is thrilled to introduce a brand-new interactive map. Featuring sites submitted by the public, the Industrial Heritage Map is the latest addition to our collection of online cultural maps. Industrial growth has profoundly shaped British Columbia, and this map highlights significant industrial sites across the province, each telling the story of industry’s impact.
To celebrate the map launch, we’ve invited four community members to share the history of notable sites featured on the new map. Their presentations will explore key themes connected to industrial growth, including environmental impact, labor rights, relationships with First Nations, and the role of immigrant communities.
We’re excited to welcome:
Following these presentations, we’re eager to share the Industrial Heritage Map with the world!
