A Statement of Significance is a tool used to commemorate important 
sites of historical significance in the community. It is a mandatory 
document that is used to formally recognize important historical places 
at the local, provincial and federal levels. As communities struggle to 
find funding sources to continue work on heritage projects, local 
governments are looking for opportunities to move forward with heritage 
projects and planning initiatives by reducing dependence on outside 
resources for the creation of these documents. To this end, the Port 
Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society is hosting a Statement of 
Significance writing workshop. The workshop will cover the different 
components and requirements of a Statement of Significance. The 
Statements of Significance may be used for Community Heritage Registers 
and other related heritage initiatives. Once participants complete the 
workshop they will be qualified to write Statements of Significance for 
local government submission to the BC Heritage Branch and the Canadian 
Register of Historic Places.

The workshop will be conducted by Berdine Jonker, the Acting Senior 
Heritage Planner with the BC Heritage Branch of the Ministry of Tourism, 
Culture and the Arts. For more information on Statements of Significance 
and other heritage projects and initiatives please visit the website for 
the BC Heritage Branch: _http://www.tca.gov.bc.ca/heritage/_
