****************


This is the final reminder for the Heritage BC provincial roundtables
taking place in Quesnel, Prince George, Fort St. John, Terrace, Prince
Rupert, Skidegate and Masset from September 19-29.



Below is a brief description of the topics that will be explored during
each session. Following that, are the dates and a link to register
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/M5RZ9DV>. Please note, you do not need to
register in advance and anyone can attend the sessions (please feel free to
forward this email to your friends and colleagues). You are not required to
attend the entire session if your time does not permit.



*WHAT WE WILL DISCUSS*



*Defining Heritage in BC*: we explore the inclusions and approaches to
heritage. Recognizing not everyone defines and distinguishes heritage in
the same way, or ‘practices’ heritage in the same way, we want to learn
from different worldviews.



*Collaboration in Conservation*: Rather than the responsibility of a single
agency, heritage recognition and protection is achieved through
collaboration and partnerships at the local level. In this session, we want
to explore this concept and how it works in your community.



*The Vision and Values of Heritage*: In this session we want to explore
what heritage means to you, your community and to BC, and to explore your
ideas for the future of heritage.



*Evolving the Practice of Heritage*: The field of heritage conservation is
fairly young in British Columbia, yet we have already seen changes in
policies, approaches and definitions. We want to hear from you about the
directions this change should take and what you believe are future
priorities.



*Future Opportunities for Heritage*: Today’s conservation and preservation
of history and heritage for future generations is a key goal. In this
session, we explore how this can be accomplished.



*British Columbia’s identity is strengthened and renewed through heritage
conservation*: In this session we explore how history and heritage
contributes to your community’s identity and renewal and how that
contributes to the overall provincial identity and renewal.



*Environmental stewardship through heritage conservation*: In this session we
explore how preservation and conservation contribute to environmental
stewardship in your community, and how that supports overall provincial
environmental stewardship.



*Economic diversity and durability through heritage conservation*: In this
session we explore how preservation and conservation contribute to local
economic diversity and durability, and how that supports overall provincial
economic diversity and durability.
