[BCMA] Nominations sought for the Chinese Historic Places Recognition Project

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Do you know a historic place associated with the history of the Chinese
community in British Columbia that is important to you or your community?
Which of these places should be formally recognized as historic places,
significant to the Chinese Canadian community and the history of British
Columbia?

The Chinese Historic Places Recognition Project is an outcome of theChinese
Historical Wrongs Consultation
<http://www.embracebc.ca/embracebc/community/apology_for_historical_wrongs.p
age?WT.svl=Centre> , where many participants expressed the hope that Chinese
Canadian cultural history could be preserved in perpetuity. Recognition of
sites with historical significance to Chinese Canadians will serve as an
opportunity to celebrate British Columbia's diversity, and recognize and
acknowledge the contribution of Chinese Canadians in British Columbia - both
past and present - to the prosperity and diversity of the province. A
selection of nominated historic places will be officially recognized by the
Government of British Columbia and placed on the BC Register of Historic
Places and the Canadian Register of Historic Places
<http://www.historicplaces.ca/en/pages/register-repertoire.aspx> .

The deadline for submitting a nomination is February 20, 2015.
