Proclamation: Heritage Week

February 15, 2023 - Mayor and Council have officially declared February 20^th to 26^th as "Heritage Week" in the District of Kent.

Heritage Week is an annual event that was established in 1973 by the National Trust of Canada. The goal is to encourage Canadians to learn about and advocate for the heritage in their communities. Some of the suggested ways that residents can do this includes visiting a heritage site, museum or cultural centre, learning about local heritage conservation, or supporting heritage-preserving policies (e.g. seismic upgrades to historic buildings).
