Heritage week poster
Beca Heritage Week is an annual event, celebrating heritage and the built environment in Christchurch and Canterbury. In 2010 Heritage Week extends out to include Waimakariri and Selwyn districts.
The theme for 2010 is On the Horizon: rediscover the settlement of our City. This year’s theme highlights the encounters and discoveries that help shape Christchurch and Canterbury.
