HBC STRATEGIC PLAN
Business Case Study Underway

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations has 
provided funding to take the Heritage BC Strategic Plan through the final 
stages with the development of a business case. Through a competitive 
solicitation process, Earthvoice Strategies Inc., in North Vancouver, was 
awarded the contract.

Developing the business case will involve identifying, evaluating and making 
recommendations on business and/or operational models that will establish 
a sustainable and increasingly self-sufficient organization and reaffirm 
Heritage BC´s role within the heritage sector. Work is underway and is 
expected to be completed this fall.» HBC Strategic Plan

HERITAGE WEEK 2013
Good NeighboursHeritage Homes and Neighbourhoods

Heritage Week 2013 celebrates the beauty and character of heritage homes 
and neighbourhoods. While ornate historic houses are what many people 
think of first when they hear "heritage", established, stable and attractive 
neighbourhoods make an equally important contribution to the community, 
creating a positive sense of well being, enjoyment, and security. The theme 
explores the character and warmth of historic homes, and the timeless 
appeal of historic neighbourhoods with established residences, gardens, 
landscaping, trees and boulevards.

Shadbolt Centre for the Arts in Burnaby BC. We are presenting a short

We will focus on the business case study for Heritage BC currently 
underway, the needs and concerns of members for an effective provincial 
heritage organization, the impacts on and future direction of the Heritage 
Legacy Fund, the provincial government´s own heritage priorities, and much 
more. The AGM and annual awards ceremony will also be part of the 
program, along with planned tours on Saturday. Save the date. Watch for
