Community Heritage Register Survey

The Bulkley Valley Museum, with support from the Town of Smithers, is compiling a Community Heritage Register. The Community Heritage Register is a list of properties that are recognized as having heritage value or character. It is an important educational tool that formally identifies and documents historic places in Smithers.
 
The goal of this survey is to hear from the community about Smithers heritage and to identify historic places that matter. Everyone is invited to share their suggestions, so the register reflects the many stories, experiences, and histories of Smithers.
