History
Project Pride was an eight-month public participation review process that was created in the autumn of 1987 by the Heritage Conservation branch. It was chaired by Kim Campbell. The purpose of the project was to ascertain the state of local heritage programs across the province and determine what the province could do to help, as well as to promote and protect BC’s heritage resources. Public hearings and community forums were sponsored across British Columbia, and the Heritage Conservation branch encouraged feedback and comments on its discussion paper from all heritage organizations, educational institutions and First Nations. It became evident that one of the major concerns across the province was a method of managing heritage properties at a local level. Task force members included chairperson Kim Campbell, Ms. Lynda Allan (Vancouver), Ms. Monica Becott (Prince George, Victoria), Mayor Jackie Drysdale (Rossland), Chief Clarence Jules (Kamloops), Dr Donald Mitchell (Victoria), and Dr. Colin Campbell (Victoria).
Approximately four hundred submissions were made to the task force. These were summarized in the project’s final report, entitled "Stewardship and Opportunity." The report led to a number of changes in British Columbia’s heritage programs and legislation. The Community Pride Program was established following the report, and the Heritage Conservation Statutes Amendment Act was passed in 1994.
The resulting Heritage Conservation Statutes Amendment Act (SBC 1994, c. 43) included 21 amendments to a wide variety of BC statutes, including the British Columbia Buildings Corporation Act, the Capital Commission Act, the Coal Act, the College and Institute Act, the Forest Act and the Heritage Conservation Act. The Amendment Act introduced “the concept of the Community Heritage Commission, the Community Heritage Register, temporary protection powers, refinement and clarification of the designation power, the ability to create Heritage Conservation Areas, and ….the Heritage Revitalization Agreement, which gave local government wide powers in negotiating the rehabilitation of historic properties.”
