The final report can be found by clicking: Punjabi Canadian Legacy Project Phase II. The report highlights the feedback and conversations with community members from all seven regions across British Columbia. The project team travelled to and undertook historical research in each of these communities and, along with our project partners, hosted workshops and consultations in each community. The objective of these hubs was to bring people together to record family histories, and share and collect Punjabi historical and contemporary perspectives on migration, employment, social organizations, family settlements, integration, political struggles, experiences of racism, discriminatory legislation, inter-generational and intercultural experiences, etc. These communities were in six provincial regions that have significant Punjabi roots: Victoria and Duncan (Vancouver Island), Prince George (the North), Golden (the Kootenay), Kelowna (the Okanagan), Abbotsford (Fraser Valley), and Vancouver and Surrey (Lower Mainland). The project established informal engagement hubs in communities by building on existing networks.
Punjabi Canadians can take pride in historical ancestry and have a stronger sense of belonging.The Final Regional Consultation Report is based on the Phase II of the Punjabi Canadian Legacy Project, the History Across the Regions Project (HARP). HARP built upon the work of the Punjabi Canadian Legacy Project with a recognition that Punjabi Canadian heritage needs to be an integral component of BC’s historical records and public presence so that: Punjabi Canadian Legacy Project Final Report The article can be accesed by visiting: International Journal of Heritage Studies As an ongoing project, the PCLP demonstrates how a network extended to diverse participants with shared goals can emerge through the organically developed heritagisation process encouraged by the partners’ collaborative efforts in an experimental model for community work by memory and research institutions. Through a myriad of continuous dialogues and inherent challenges, the process and progress of the PCLP is shaped by this dialogic engagement.
Considering ‘heritagisation’ as a process of heritage building, and drawing on their experience as practitioners on this project, the authors argue for the need to consider the vast diversities within and among communities, and the need to work on ‘heritagisation’ through ongoing dialogic engagement. The project is based on community action research and practices, joining forces of memory, research, and community institutions, organisations, and groups.
This article examines the Punjabi Canadian Legacy Project (PCLP), a partnership project between the Royal British Columbia Museum and the South Asian Studies Institute at the University of the Fraser Valley, as a case study of heritage from below. It’s a privilege to serve others and I am looking forward to obtaining the skills necessary to better advocate for my patients during my training at Harbor-UCLA.The Punjabi Canadian legacy project: possibilities and limitations of institutional heritagisation from below I continued to pursue my love of primary care by serving refugee communities and working within the department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as a Primary Care Leadership Program (PCLP) and National Medical Fellows (NMF) scholar respectively. As a medical student, I was president of the Family Medicine Interest Group and the Christian Medical and Dental Association (CMDA), which promotes spiritual balance in medical school. During my Masters program at Drexel University I worked as a Peer Academic Counselor to serve students who wanted to improve academically. During my undergraduate career, I served as president of the Haitian Inter-Cultural Association (HICA) and organized several food drives, fundraisers, and health fairs for the Haitian community in South Florida. This sparked my interest in Family Medicine and a passion for empowering underserved communities. As a first generation college graduate, I witnessed the stagnant effects of poverty and limited medical resources on our health care. I was raised on the beautiful island of Grand Bahama, Bahamas by two Haitian parents.
