Students from seven elementary schools across ²Ýݮֱ²¥ recently showcased their rich understanding of Canada’s heritage at the 2024 ²Ýݮֱ²¥ Regional Heritage Fair hosted at the ²Ýݮֱ²¥ Cultural Centre. Sponsored by the ²Ýݮֱ²¥ Museum Society, BC Heritage Fairs Society, ²Ýݮֱ²¥ School District, ²Ýݮֱ²¥ Heritage Commission, Canada’s History, and BC Arts Council, this annual event aims to immerse students in Canadian history and heritage through engaging, hands-on activities.
Starting with school-level presentations, ²Ýݮֱ²¥ students presented over 90 heritage projects in both English and French, covering a wide range of topics. These topics included notable Canadians, pivotal moments in Canada’s history, and personal narratives of family history and migration.
More than 10 students from our district received awards at the 2024 Heritage Fair across various categories. One student earned acclaim for his project titled "Our Forgotten Past" and was honoured with the BC Heritage Fairs Stellar Achievement Award. This student, among only three recipients of the Stellar Achievement Award, will proudly showcase his project at the upcoming BC Provincial Heritage Fair in Victoria.
