B.C. Spirit Squares are gathering places for our communities, created to help celebrate BC150 – the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Crown Colony of British Columbia – as well as many other festivities and milestones in the future.
These squares will celebrate our heritage and achievements – past, present and future – and leave a legacy for current and future generations to enjoy.
Spirit Squares will reflect the unique character, diversity, cultural and First Nations heritage and history of our communities, sharing that richness with residents and visitors alike.
Plan to visit the Sprit Square in your area and travel to see some of the others around the province – and help celebrate the Best Place on Earth! For updates on these projects go to the Community Gallery.
The $20 million B.C. Spirit Squares program is one of four new Green Cities programs realizing government’s vision of greener, healthier, liveable communities. The others include Towns for Tomorrow, LocalMotion and Green City Awards.
