 The Bulkley Valley Museum is hosting a BC Heritage Emergency Response
Network (BC HERN) emergency response and collections salvage training
workshop in Smithers, *April 8-9 2026. *There are 9 spots still available!

This in-person intensive 2-day workshop is for keepers of cultural heritage
who have little to no training in emergency response related to collections
as well as for those who wish to build on existing experience and
knowledge.

confidence needed to help in emergency situations. The workshop will
include hands-on salvage of objects impacted by water and fire.
