<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you know, we continue to deliver information about heritage conservation projects to the province and recently we sent a letter and report (signed jointly with BCMA) to Premier Horgan and Minister James, as well as to every BC MLA.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are now looking for other types of information to boost our case for sector support. We hope you will help where possible as there has been no better time to raise awareness for the heritage sector.<u></u><u></u></p>

<li class="m_6189755876839862990MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm">Do you perceive a threat to heritage value due to climate change and extreme weather? This could include
<span style="color:black">fire, floods, draught or increased precipitation, extreme or changing temperatures, or soil or shore erosion. We would like to know about the perceived threat and if there are mitigating measures you would like to put into place. </span><u></u><u></u></li></ul>

<li class="m_6189755876839862990MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm">Do you feel the effect of the pandemic will necessitate change either for your organization and programming or for the sector in general? Because the shutdown has exposed numerous
problems and inequities, there is a growing sense that we cannot return to ‘business as usual’, but instead we need to evolve organizations, programming, and sectors. If you feel changed is needed, we would like to hear from you – even if you do not know what
change looks like or how you will achieve change. <u></u><u></u></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Please email me with your thoughts or, if it is easier to talk over the phone, please suggest a date and time and we will set a phone appointment. Either way, I do not need a lot of information so this should not
take a lot of your time. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">As with all the information we have collected over the past four months, we will deliver this new information to the Province as we encourage the decision-makers to include heritage in the recovery planning. The
more information we are able to collect and deliver to the Province, the better our chance of reaching our goal.

BC asks its members to reflect on the places where they reside and work, and to respect the diversity of cultures and experiences that form the richness of our provincial heritage.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
