Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations fact sheet The Province's investment in its heritage sites supports economic development in communities: • The Province owns 23 heritage sites, 11 of which are open to the public and operated by third-party community agencies under Heritage Site Management Agreements. • In addition, from 2009 to 2011, the Province invested $3.21 million from the Community Development Trust to employ over 125 workers to repair and maintain several heritage sites.  • British Columbia's historic buildings, structures and cultural landscapes attract over 200,000 visitors annually from around the world, creating jobs for British Columbians and supporting sustainable communities. • The Barkerville, Fort Steele and Fraser Valley heritage properties alone contribute approximately $32 million each year to the province's GDP, create more than 625 full-time jobs and raise more than $14 million in taxes for all levels of government.
