British Columbians are invited to nominate places of historic significance to South Asian Canadians for recognition.

The nomination process for Japanese Canadian historic places has been extended to Nov. 30, 2016.

Do you know a historic place associated with the history of the Japanese Canadian community in British Columbia that is important to you or your community?

Twenty-one places of historical significance to the Chinese Canadian community are being provincially recognized under the Heritage Conservation Act fulfilling a commitment in the Chinese Historical Wrongs Consultation Final Report and Recommendations.

Heavy timbers made of high-quality British Columbian hemlock feature prominently in a spectacular wood frame home that Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson and 2015 Forestry Asia trade mission delegates visited in Tsukuba, Japan.

Premier Christy Clark has tasked Minister Steve Thomson with annual forestry trade missions to Asia to continue diversifying markets for B.C. wood exports. These annual missions are a cornerstone of the joint provincial-federal-industry market developments in Asia.

To all the men & women working and volunteering to keep B.C. safe this  wildfire season, thank you.
