(February 17-23), BCMA invites Paul Gravett, Executive Director of Heritage BC,
to lead this month’s webinar on the state of heritage and its future in
BC. Paul will report on his work in 2019
with the State of Heritage Provincial Roundtables which encompassed 26 meetings
and involved nearly 500 participants who shared their ideas, aspirations and
challenges. Exploring eight themes, the roundtable participants delved into the
definition of heritage and its evolving practice, the identity and future
opportunities, the opportunities of collaboration, and the stewardship of the
environment. The roundtables were always thought-provoking, inspiring, and
sometimes even surprising. In this webinar, Paul will discuss the results from
the roundtables and together, we can explore actions that are needed to
overcome the obstacles and to achieve aspirations to keep BC’s heritage sector
thriving into the future.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><a name="_Hlk27599703" style=""><b style=""><font size="4">Grow with
