Recently Larry Ewashen made a presentation of Doukhobor culture and heritage at an ethno-cultural workshop in Vancouver sponsored by the Department of Heritage. Among the items discussed and presented was the designation of Peter V. Verigin as a person of national historic significance.

Other local possibilities for designation currently under discussion are the site of the Doukhobor Village site as a historic site since it was part of the original properties purchased by Peter 'Lordly' Verigin in 1908, the Raspberry School as a historic building, and the immigration of 5,000 Doukhobors to this area in 1908 as an historic event.
