Sea to Sky Heritage Fair 2013
The North Vancouver Museum and Archives is currently preparing for the Sea to Sky Heritage Fair 2013. The popular annual event allows students to showcase their understanding of Canadian history in a festive environment. Last year, had over 50 students showcase their projects before over 500 spectators. Some of the participants were featured in the Vancouver Sun and on CBC Radio; others were sent on free history junkets to Abbotsford and Ottawa. The Museum is currently recruiting for the fair and are asking PACs to encourage students and schools to participate in this endeavour.
