History

The British Columbia Heritage Trust was established as a crown corporation in 1977, and received its mandate under Part IV of the Heritage Conservation Act (SBC 1977, c. 37).

The function of the Trust was to support, encourage and facilitate the conservation, maintenance and restoration of heritage property in the province, operating in co-ordination and co-operation with the Heritage Conservation Branch.

Appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council, the board of directors of the Trust met six times per year as well as holding committee meetings. With the permission of the minister, the Trust was empowered to acquire and dispose of property, conduct heritage-related exhibits and activities, receive donations, provide loans and grants, and assist in or undertake research, study, or publication, and provide services such as advice to members of the public.

Between 1978 and 2003 the Trust provided financial support to approximately 2,300 heritage initiatives across British Columbia, with a total investment of approximately $30 million.

As part of the Core Services Review, the British Columbia government terminated the operations of the British Columbia Heritage Trust on March 31, 2003.
