<p class="MsoNormal">We encourage any and all museum and archive organizations to think about nominating significant sites around their area pertaining to South Asian history in BC. We will be working from our end to suggest and nominate sites and may be in
contact with some of you. Subsequently if anyone would like to contact us for more information or suggestions, please feel free to email me directly.<o:p></o:p></p>
