What is a Heritage Fair?

Heritage Fairs are a celebration of Canada’s heritage in the form of student history projects that bring people together to make history come alive. The Heritage Fairs program is a bilingual educational initiative that encourages students to explore an aspect of Canadian heritage in a dynamic and captivating learning environment. Students are encouraged to research any aspect of Canadian history and present the results of their efforts in a public forum. The event is free and is open to students in Grades 4 to 10.

Goals of the program are to:

Create an environment where students are excited to learn and share
Celebrate cultural diversity and multiple perspectives
Reveal connections between the past and present
Provide recognition for student achievement
Inspire Canadians to celebrate their places in history

The Prince George Regional Heritage Fair has been held since the early 2000s and is organized by a committee consisting of representatives from Huble Homestead Historic Site, Central BC Railway & Forestry Museum, The Exploration Place, Prince George Public Library, and teachers from School District 57 and local independent schools.

The Regional Fair is a day-long event held yearly in early May, featuring project judging by volunteer judges, cultural activities, a field trip, and an evening Community Showcase and awards ceremony. The Prince George Regional Heritage Fair is part of a provincial program sponsored by the BC Heritage Fairs Society.

The BC Provincial Heritage Fair is held each year in late June or early July. Between 3 and 5 delegates from each region of the province attend the five-day Fair.
