We hosted a gathering of heritage partners at the Milner Chapel to close out BC Heritage Week, and to learn about plans for the coming year. With more Canadians staying home, this is the perfect time to get the word out about our unique heritage sites and museums at home. Thanks to all for attending, and to LHS member Glenn Disney for the photos.
