2025 Conference: Me7 Elkstwécw-kt—Working Together
Me7 Elkstwécw-kt—Working Together
This year’s annual heritage conference emphasizes place, featuring panels, workshops, and site visits throughout Kamloops and on Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc land. Departing from the traditional conference setting, sessions will spotlight local projects, community-driven initiatives, and sustainable heritage practices—all rooted in the rich cultural and historical landscape of our host communities.
While grounded in local context, these lessons and strategies will offer actionable takeaways to inspire and equip your own heritage efforts across the province. Join us to explore how Me7 Elkstwécw-kt or Working Together—can strengthen and enrich heritage work in all our communities.

Host Partners
We host our conference in different communities across BC to honour each region’s unique heritage and deepen engagement throughout the province. While rooted in the host community, the conference is designed to serve the broader heritage community by sparking conversations, sharing diverse perspectives, and tackling province-wide topics. Host Partners play a vital role in connecting us with local speakers, identifying key sites, and shaping discussions that reflect their community’s identity. This approach fosters accessibility, celebrates diversity, and ensures the conference creates meaningful connections while addressing the shared challenges and opportunities in BC’s heritage sector.
