About the Provincial Historic Commemorations Program (PHCP)?
The PHCP is a citizen-driven program that commemorates aspects of our history and culture that are of provincial significance. The PHCP recognizes, honours and interprets our cultural and historic treasures. The program is unique for its recognition of intangible aspects of our culture and heritage – the customs, practices, skills and knowledge that define us. The program recognizes subjects that have a broad impact on the province as a whole. Subjects with a more regional impact may also be recognized.
