*Online Symposium **:Diverse Views on Decolonizing and Reimagining Heritage
Policy in BC*

*May 23rd, between 1pm-5pm PST*

This symposium will center the importance of developing an equitable,
inclusive, and rights-based approach to urban heritage policy and
intangible cultural heritage. We will continue to explore how the existing
heritage framework in BC is representative and inclusive of the heritage of
Indigenous, Black and racialized communities.

Diverse speakers from community and academia will share their insights and
experiences of preserving and promoting their tangible and intangible
cultural heritage within/without existing heritage policies and structures
in BC. Come and join us in a lively discussion.
