the kick-off to the Heritage Symposium scheduled for Friday, October 18.

Museum & Archives and Economic Development Cowichan, CVRD, in cooperation
with Heritage BC, Cowichan Tribes, and the BC Museums Association, A
Warmland Heritage Workshop is themed around linking heritage stories. The
purpose of the day long event, held on October 18, is to invite heritage
representatives and local government to think differently about the concept
of heritage storytelling and how best to support heritage. The event will
provide examples of how shared history, First Nations heritage and today’s
visitor preferences play a role in a contemporary storytelling.  A limited
number of tickets are still available for this free event.  See
