British Columbia Regional Districts

Have you ever wondered about old buildings or special spots that tell a story? In British Columbia, Canada, there are many amazing places that are super important to our history! These are called historic places. They could be old homes, special parks, or even entire neighborhoods.

These historic places are officially recognized on the Canadian Register of Historic Places. This is like a big list that helps us remember and protect places that are important to Canada's past. Some places are important to the whole country (federal), some to just British Columbia (provincial), and some to a specific city or town (municipal).

To make it easier to find these cool spots, we've organized them by different areas called regional districts. Think of regional districts as different parts of British Columbia, each with its own unique history.
