Michele Camacho, Chair, Heritage Burlington, one of the really good examples of what an Advisory Committee can achieve said:  “Heritage Week is a time to celebrate the many aspects of Burlington’s various heritages. The celebrations are even more special this year, as Burlington celebrates its sesquicentennial anniversary.
