Dear Editor,

The City of Richmond, in co-operation with Richmond Museum Society, has just concluded its 10th annual Doors Open Program.

This very popular, annual event provides the participants with an excellent opportunity to explore the richness of the city’s heritage, arts and culture. It showcases how this community’s cultural heritage combines to make it such a great place to live, work and play.

Richmond is well known for many of its special features. It is considered to be one of the healthiest, cleanest and multicultural communities in Canada.

The Olympic Oval, Steveston Village, the Highway to Heaven and the rich farming heritage of this community are some of Richmond’s outstanding assets and attractions.

For the past several years, the City of Richmond along with Richmond Museum Society has been showcasing what this community has to offer. Doors Open offers an excellent opportunity to explore Richmond’s unique religious, cultural and heritage sites.

This year, 42 organizations including a number of places of worship and various institutions opened their doors to the public.

These were just some of the excellent sites for the visitors to enjoy.

The organizers as well as the volunteers at each of these special sites did an amazing job in welcoming the visitors and making them feel comfortable.

The City of Richmond and Richmond Museum Society must be commended for doing an excellent job in highlighting our community in such an impressive manner.
