Nominations are now open for the Vancouver Heritage Awards, which recognize outstanding efforts to preserve and sustain the city’s cultural heritage, including the tangible and intangible heritage of the diverse communities.
The awards acknowledge and celebrate the different facets of heritage in Vancouver that are reflected not only in historic buildings and places, but also through intangible heritage and the self-expressed heritage of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tseil-Waututh Nations, Urban Indigenous Peoples, and the many cultures that enrich their city.
