HERITAGE WEEK 2007: FEBRUARY
19 - 25
"Vernacular Heritage -
Architecture Without Architects"
In British Columbia, the third week of February is Heritage Week. It
begins with national Heritage Day, always the third Monday in
February. In 2007 Heritage Week will be Monday, February 19th to
Sunday, February 25th. The theme is: "Vernacular Heritage -
Architecture Without Architects".
Communities around BC can celebrate their heritage in a variety of
ways. Museums, local history and heritage societies and similar
groups often take the lead, but anyone can get involved in creating
programs and special events: heritage fairs, displays, tours,
performances, special commercial district promotions, school
programs and proclamations are some typical activities. The
possibilities are limited only by your imagination. In fact, a
heritage celebration is a great opportunity to crack the mold for
usual heritage happenings, to show your community that heritage is
relevant to them, that it can be fun and good business.

Ideas" and "What People Did in 2006". |
