Our heritage reveals information about our past and how our civilization has grown. It allows us to analyse our history and customs while also developing self-awareness. It enables us to comprehend and express why we are the way we are. 

Heritage officers work with teams to care after structures, sculptures, and sites of cultural and historical significance. A heritage officer educates the public about the significance of historic location or surroundings in order for it to be understood, respected, and maintained as an important element of a country’s or region’s history and identity.
