British Columbia Heritage Fairs Society (BCHFS)

BCHFS

 

In 2003, the British Columbia Heritage Fairs Society was formed to:

  • promote an awareness and understanding of Canadian history and heritage among students and adults in the province of British Columbia by organizing school, regional and provincial Heritage Fairs.
  • work closely with other organizations and agencies in the province whose goals and activities complement and support the goals of the Society.

In simpler language, it is about bringing people together to make history come alive. Each year some 6,000 students participate and 700 volunteers work with them, their teachers, and community museum staff.
