Share your Heritage Week experiences

Find us on instagram, facebook, and twitter at @heritagebcanada.
You can share what you get up to during Heritage Week by tagging us in your posts and using the hashtag #BCHeritageWeek.
We look forward to celebrating and re-sharing your heritage experiences!

Participate as a Host Organization

Who can host events? Museums, Cultural Centres, Historic Houses, Historical and Heritage Societies, First Nations Governments, Heritage Commissions, Libraries, Parks, Schools, Community Centres, Cultural Organizations or Businesses, and more! If your organization has heritage, then highlight and celebrate it with your community during Heritage Week.

1. Plan an event or activity to host

Our goal is to see more Heritage Week events in more communities in BC than ever before! Think about the ways in which heritage excites you – and then plan an activity, event or other program to celebrate them with your community!

10 Examples of Heritage Week Activities:

  • Lead a Heritage Walking Tour
  • Make a Heritage Hunt or Scavenger Hunt
  • Host a free lecture or cultural performance
  • Hold an open house in a local heritage building
  • Give a behind the scenes tour of your collections
  • Host a workshop or make a take-home kit to learn about a cultural craft, practice, art, or game
  • Make a Heritage Week display in your public facing space
  • Host a genealogy or family history workshop
  • Host a local heritage trivia night
  • Invite your community to share their cultural traditions with you

If you want support in planning an event, contact Nathalie, our heritage program coordinator, at [email protected]

Heritage BC will be adding your events, big and small, to our All Events Calendar. The calendar will circulate widely through press releases, partner organizations, in our newsletter and on social media, and by word of mouth from heritage advocates in communities across BC.

Submit your event here starting on December 1st, 2022.

2. Raise awareness for Heritage Week using the official poster and social media images and hashtags

Heritage Week Instagram Post Example
Example Instagram Image

Get your community excited about Heritage Week by putting up posters, and sharing our Heritage Week images on social media.

Use our Heritage Week 2023 poster and social media images to promote your own events, and get the word out about Heritage Week in your community.

Tag us on instagram, facebook, and twitter @heritagebcanada, and post using the hashtag #BCHeritageWeek to help us get the word out.

Request a Heritage Week Poster
Send us an email with your organization name and address, and how many posters you want before November 30th, 2022.

3. Ask your local government to make a Heritage Week proclamation

Every year, the Province of BC and municipalities across the province, make proclamations declaring the celebration of Heritage Week. This is important, because it shows local communities that your civic leaders value heritage conservation – for both intangible and tangible heritage.

These proclamations are documents that Heritage BC leverages to demonstrate the value of Heritage to the Province, when we communicate with them about the need for financial and political support for heritage conservation.

Use our template to ask your local government to make a Heritage Week Proclamation:

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.
