2024 Conference: Prioritizing People

Heritage BC 2024 Conference Prioritizing People Banner

Prioritizing People

Help Heritage come alive through the power of people!  This May 1-3, join us in learning about the benefits of putting people first in our heritage work. Explore how collaboration with local voices empowers communities to add their stories to the historical narrative, how inclusive heritage conservation centers the human experience, and how prioritizing the needs of community can ensure a more authentic and sustainable heritage legacy. Together, we’ll explore how putting people at the forefront leads to shared ownership and increased support for heritage. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with passionate advocates and learn how to make heritage truly by and for the people.

Registration closed on April 15 @ 5:00PM (PST).

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.
