Cathy English

Cathy English is the recipient of a BCHF Award of Recognition.

Awards of recognition are given by the BCHF to individuals who have given exceptional service for a specific project in the preservation of British Columbia’s history.

English is being recognized for her long, exemplary service at the Revelstoke Museum and Archives. Curator at the Museum for more than 40 years, Cathy has become synonymous with history and heritage in the city.

Her approach, which focuses on bringing Revelstoke to the forefront in a way that is robust and inclusive of all, has allowed for the uncovering of stories from underrepresented communities in Revelstoke.

English is also being recognized for her dedication to teaching and guiding young professionals and youth, having actively mentored hundreds of students, interns and emerging professionals new to the heritage sector.

The award was presented at the federation’s annual conference awards gala in Williams Lake on Saturday.
