The role of the Heritage Rivers Program is to encourage community-based stewardship, to provide a model for public participation in river management, to formally recognize outstanding examples of our river heritage and to reflect the vision for each river as we move into the future.

BC Heritage Rivers System

Starting in 1995 the BC Heritage Rivers System worked to select 20 rivers representative of the diversity of B.C.'s Rivers. The first 7 rivers were designated in 1996. In the year 2000 the final two (2) rivers were proclaimed and the system was completed.
