BC Heritage Week 16th-22nd February 2026

Food brings us together.

It links us to the land and to traditions, ties us to our families and ancestors, and connects cultures and communities.

The 2026 BC Heritage Week theme, Stir the Pot is an open invitation to celebrate food as a form of heritage that is both deeply personal and widely shared.

Stir the Pot also suggests advocacy. It is a call to spark conversation, to bring overlooked stories to the surface, and to address issues of food security, cultural recognition and access. By stirring the pot together, we not only honour traditions but also create space for dialogue and discussion.

We invite you to celebrate Summerland’s heritage with us this week with our series of activities, presentations and workshops, all based around the theme of Stir the Pot
