BC Regional Heritage Fairs
CCHSBC is a proud participant and supporter of the BC Regional Heritage Fairs, a province-wide programme that encourages youth to see history around them. Heritage Fairs are a group opportunity for young students to explore different historical topics, such as their own personal heritage.
CCHSBC History Award
This award recognizes outstanding Heritage Fair projects on a topic related to Chinese Canadian history, and/or family history that speaks to larger narratives of Canadian history. Winners are presented with a medal, and the supporting school is presented with a book to add to their library collection. In addition, winners are invited to attend our Society's annual Celebration Dinner in the Spring of the following year.
