A
Member
for
study
panorama,
mr
speaker,
according
to
unesco
heritage,
is
our
legacy
from
the
past.
What
we
live
with
today
and
what
we
pass
on
to
our
future
generations.
Our
culture
and
natural
heritage
are
both
irreplaceable
sources
of
life
and
inspiration,
our
touchstone
our
reference
point
and
our
identity.
This
week
is
heritage
week.
Heritage
celebrates
the
conservation
and
preservation
of
historic
places
in
the
form
of
building
structures
and
landscapes.
A
It
also
celebrates
our
values,
beliefs,
customs
and
traditions.
Extending
into
the
past.
In
my
riding
of
suri
panorama,
we
have
a
gem
called
sullivan
sullivan
is
seen
by
many
as
a
new
developing
neighborhood.
However,
the
sullivan
community
association
has
been
active
since
1928
when
a
group
of
volunteers
built
sullivan
community
hall,
a
heritage
building
still
in
use.
Today,
the
area
known
as
sullivan
was
first
settled
in
1866
by
irish
immigrant
named
james
johnston.
Henry
sullivan
was
attracted
to
the
area
and
bought
a
corner
section
of
land
where
he
and
mr
hyland
opened
a
logging
company.
A
Henry
was
joined
by
his
brother
tom,
who
helped
with
the
logging
and
later
served
as
mayor
of
surrey.
The
logging
company
was
commissioned
by
bc.
Electric
railway
to
build
a
right-of-way
from
newton
to
cloverdale,
thanks
to
the
fraser
valley,
heritage,
rail
society,
you
can
ride
the
original
car
1225
from
cloverdale
to
sullivan
station
all
summer.
Long
sullivan
is
one
of
the
many
historic
neighborhoods
in
our
province.
A
It
is
thanks
to
community
associations,
heritage
societies
and
individual
british
columbians
who
have
fought
to
preserve
our
history,
to
have
buildings
designated
heritage
status
and
who
continue
to
share
the
stories
of
the
past
so
that
we
can
appreciate
both
the
beauty
of
yesteryear
and
build
upon
the
rich
and
diverse
cultures
of
today.
As
we
head
into
nicer
days.
Let
us
all
explore
our
heritage.
