Conservation Act update about?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Heritage Conservation Act (HCA) encourages and enables the protection and conservation of sites with historical, cultural and\/or archaeological value in B.C. These sites hold physical evidence of how and where people lived. Many of these sites in B.C. are culturally sensitive, contain ancestral remains, and have important sacred and spiritual value to First Nations in B.C. Altering\u202fthese protected sites without a permit is prohibited under the Act. <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.gov.bc.ca\/assets\/gov\/farming-natural-resources-and-industry\/natural-resource-use\/archaeology\/forms-publications\/property_owner_brochure.pdf\" title=\"\">Learn more&nbsp;about these permits (PDF, 1MB)<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Significant changes have not been made to the HCA since 1996. This project aims to update the HCA to address concerns that have been raised for a long time, including:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Making&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.gov.bc.ca\/gov\/content\/industry\/natural-resource-use\/archaeology\/permits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">permitting<\/a>&nbsp;faster and easier<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helping people and communities rebuild quicker after disasters such as wildfires and floods &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protecting heritage more effectively, reducing the risk of accidental damage to sacred or other significant sites&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strengthening the role of First Nations in decision-making about their own heritage and ancestors, in alignment with the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.gov.bc.ca\/gov\/content\/governments\/indigenous-people\/new-relationship\/united-nations-declaration-on-the-rights-of-indigenous-peoples\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Declaration Act\u202f<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increasing transparency and access to information (including making it easier to find out if there is a protected site on your property) to support planning and development decisions&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Joint Working Group on First Nations Heritage Conservation (JWGFNHC), which includes members appointed by the First Nations Leadership Council (FNLC) and the<s> <\/s>B.C. Government, has been leading the HCA transformation process. The JWGFNHC serves as a forum for collaboration between the Province and FNLC on heritage matters. \u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>For more information, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/heritageconservationact\" title=\"\">engage site<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Project background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose of the Heritage Conservation Act (HCA) is to encourage and enable the protection and conservation of cultural heritage in B.C.
