Dear members, partners, and supporters:

We invite you to join us for a very special milestone as Heritage Cape Breton Connection marks 40 years of preserving and promoting our island’s rich heritage and culture. To celebrate this achievement we’re gathering together to look back at four decades of dedication and collaboration including fond remembrances of Jim St. Clair and the origin our group, exploring our current landscape through the lens of cultural heritage tourism, and will hear from a youth panel who will speak to the future of heritage on the Island.

A special, homestyle lunch will be served, including vegetarian options and topped off with a dessert of apple crisp and homemade ice cream. Please let us know if you have any special dietary needs.

Seating is limited to 50 guests, so please register by October 29th to reserve your seat(s).  Send registration numbers and dietary needs to pauline.maclean@novascotia.ca

Heritage Cape Breton Connection Strategic Planning Survey

Posted on by

The current mission of Heritage Cape Breton Connection is to lead in creating an environment where culture and natural heritage are sustained through advocacy, mutual support and shared knowledge. Over the years, HCBC has completed a number of valuable projects including Voices of Heritage, created heritage locator maps, supported youth heritage projects through financial awards, and supported knowledge sharing via bi-annual members meetings.

This survey is intended to gather feedback from our membership to inform a more focused strategic direction for the group. We would like to begin this discussion at the upcoming November 18th Members meeting, and continue the work throughout the winter months. During the annual AGM, we will provide the membership with a revitalized vision for HCBC.
