Government help needed for heritage sites Re: “Bateman closure should worry all museum fans,” commentary, Feb. 24.
Ryan Hunt’s reminder about the underfunding of small museums and heritage sites in British Columbia is timely.
We need this education, but without a funding announcement, Point Ellice House is slated to close next month. This is unacceptable and shortsighted. Forcing heritage sites, museums, small archives, and other valuable cultural resources to the point of collapse is not a responsible stewardship of thiis province’s material history.Those broken windows have a steep cost This letter is in response to the recent spate of vandalism which destroyed the large plate glass windows at the central branch of the Greater Victoria Public Library.
Heritage overlords please take a moment to consider. The overall architectural beauty will still be there. As a downtown business owner over the past decade our large windows were broken several times at a cost of about $2,000 each replacement.Retired now, but I can sadly see I’m still going to have to keep on paying.
There were young, able people exclaiming about the lack of this and that, especially lack of thought and facilities for the infirm and wheelchair users – a thoughtful group who could have just as readily contented themselves with what had been built for them.
