Heritage Week

Heritage Week 2025

Join us for VHF’s 8th Places That Matter Community Celebration on Sunday, February 23rd, 2025 at Heritage Hall.
This event is part of Heritage Week, a celebration of BC and Canada’s heritage, focusing on Vancouver’s history and diverse cultural heritage. This year, we will be celebrating the theme “Pastimes in Past Times” and invite you to dig deeper into the many ways that your community spends its leisure time. These activities help build the cultural fabric of our communities and shape the heritage of the place we call home.

February is Black History Month so we invite you to consider incorporating this as along with the Heritage Week theme. Places That Matter values the interconnected histories and experiences of Indigenous peoples and all settler communities who call this place home. We hope you can find ways to incorporate, acknowledge and highlight these perspectives in your table displays and shared resources and research.

If you need to fill this form out in an alternate format, or need assistance, please contact me and I can help.

Please note that the deadline to apply is November November 29th. Applications will be reviewed and those accepted will be notified by December 6th.
