Our Programs
Heritage Preservation
Heritage Preservation is a key pillar of JC Legacies that encompasses three programs. BC Heritage Sites is run by the JCLS and funds municipalities and organizations throughout BC. The Village of New Denver and Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre have received heritage funding and operate independently.
BC Heritage Sites
The BC Heritage Sites program invests in places of memory – prewar communities up and down the west coast where Japanese Canadians settled prior to being uprooted in 1942, as well as internment-era sites in the interior of the province. Together with tangible Legacy Community Projects, these BC Heritage Sites ensure that our history is not only remembered, but woven back into the fabric of the communities we once called home.
