Climate change focus of Heritage Park Museum exhibit

Climate change in northern B.C. is the subject of Heritage Park Museum’s annual temporary exhibit this year,

Called “Heat, Hope and Home: Global Climate Change, Local Consequences,” the exhibit explores questions of what might happen in the region as the climate continues to shift.

It also highlights the measures being taken to prepare homes and communities.

The exhibit features artifacts from the museum’s collection that illustrate the causes and effects of climate change and interviews with locals.

Educational resources courtesy of the Terrace Public Library are also part of the exhibit and hands-on crafts and activities show visitors how to turn common recycling items into bird feeders and bee houses that promote healthy ecosystems.

The exhibit opens July 22 in the dance hall at Heritage Park Museum. The museum is open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10am to 4pm until the 23rd of August at 4702 Kerby Avenue.
