Good Websites for Heritage Fair Projects.
Posted Friday, January 20, 2012
Here are three websites full of useful information for Heritage Fair Projects.
http://www.archivescanada.ca/english/index.html This first website consists of lots of archival information. Some territorial, some provincial, and some Canada wide. There are also pictures and contact information to where some of these resources are held. http://www.furtradestories.ca/index.html This webiste consists of primary and secondary resources from Canada's history about the fur trade. Most of these resources are journal entries from people from the time period or topic you are researching. Some other resources are artwork, artifacts, videos and maps. http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/sn-2833FB8/exhibits/timemach/main.htm This website is also full of information, this time categorized into grade level. Some topics include multiculturalism, art in B.C history and the Cariboo Gold Rush.

What's Next?
Posted Friday, May 20, 2011
Congratulations to over 165 students from Richmond and Delta who created a total of 74 projects on the history of Canada for Heritage Fair 2011.
What happened at the Fair? These students were interviewed by a panel of judges drawn from the community, including a Museum Director, a Public Art Planner, and many retired educators. They also got a back-stage pass to the Museum's "secret" storage where the artefacts are kept and special entry into a heritage house in Terra Nova. If that wasn't enough, they also participated in a workshop on Aboriginal culture, family stories through art, heritage conservation, and exhibit-making. What's next? There's more! We are have selected five students to be our "heritage ambassadors" to the BC Provincial Heritage Fair in Victoria, July 4-8, where they will showcase their Heritage Fair projects at the Royal BC Museum and take part in a number of other fun, history-related field trips and activities. Are you a teacher or administrator who wants more information about how to register for Heritage Fair 2012? Please contact the Educational Programs Coordinator at museumed@richmond.ca or 604-247-8334.
Congratulations on a wonderful fair!

BC People - Portraits of Diversity
Posted Friday, February 18, 2011
A great website for ideas on projects, or just to learn about our province's heritage: BC People features the stories of 50 British Columbians from a diverse background: at the website, you'll find the stories of Sam and Phung Lam, a Burns Lake couple who came to Canada 35 years ago after being kicked out of their homeland Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge, or Rudy Rozsypalek, a glider pilot in Pemberton who 'escaped' communist Czechoslovakia in 1989. Forty-eight other snippets of history await you!
At the website, you'll find:
Additionally, between now and March 15, visitors to the site can enter to win an iPad! BC People was produced by a team of creative professionals led by Julie Gordon & Associates, a communications consulting firm in Victoria B.C. The project was made possible through funding from the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia, through Embrace BC.
