<p><em>As an organization of provincial scope, Heritage BC
recognizes that its members, and the local history
and heritage they seek to preserve, occupy the lands and
territories of B.C.’s Indigenous peoples. Heritage BC
asks its members to reflect on the places where they reside
and work, and to respect the diversity of cultures
and experiences that form the richness of our provincial
heritage. <a href="https://native-land.ca/">Learn more about
