When you’ve been around this long, you deserve some recognition.
The City of Campbell River is inviting you to join in on its upcoming online public hearing about assigning heritage designations to the Sybil Andrews and Haig-Brown properties.
The meeting is scheduled for February 22nd at 6:30 pm, and you can watch it through the City’s website.
According to Mayor Andy Adams, “Designation is the highest heritage status a community can bestow on a site and gives the properties the highest level of protection.”
“Both of these City-owned properties are part of this community’s legacy and tell stories of people whose accomplishments and influence made a difference to Campbell River,” he says.
The proposal comes on the heels of Heritage Week in B.C., which kicks off tomorrow (Feb. 15th) and runs until the 21st.
This year, the City says Heritage Week poses the question: Where do you find heritage?
“People experience heritage from many different sources, including unique community events, buildings and landmarks and special family recipes and stories,” says recreation manager Michele Sirett.
Sirett adds that some of Campbell River’s history is rooted in the lives of people like Sybil Andrews and Roderick Haig-Brown.
