The Townsite Heritage Society is comprised of residents and representatives from key organizations within the Powell River area, such as the Chamber of Commerce, the Visitors Bureau, and the Corporation of the District of Powell River. In addition to the regular members, there are approximately 150 volunteers who assist with special projects of the Heritage Society. There is a full time co-ordinator working for the society and an office open to the public, located within the Heritage Townsite.
The Townsite is Powell River's inheritance, and the birthplace of our community. Times have changed, but the Townsite remains entrenched in our heritage.
Many communities have realized the cultural and financial benefits of restoring heritage areas. Powell River can do the same. It takes time, and effort but with foresight and community support it can be done.
By building on the past, we can make sure the legacy will last for generations to come.
