This is just fantastic!!

Parks Canada in Cape Breton has signed a multi-year agreement with Holland College, Algonquin College, and Willowbank School of Restoration Arts. The agreement will enable students at all three post-secondary institutions to participate in the restoration of the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site. The agreement supports Parks Canada’s priorities by helping preserve a nationally significant heritage place while fostering hands-on learning.

Students from the schools have been working on shutters for the fortress after reviewing blueprints and meeting with Parks Canada’s lead conservator, gaining hands-on experience in a restoration project. This experience has helped prepare them for careers as skilled tradespeople.

One week ago today we spent the morning in Soley Cove being interviewed for CBC The National by Kayla Hounsell and camera man Mark. The video aired last night on The National. Here is a more in depth write up:

UNESCO Global Geoparks are distinct regions with internationally important geology that tells the story of earth’s history. UNESCO revalidates geoparks every four years, and three of the five in Canada — among only 229 on the planet — have been told they need to improve.

Sideways rain… it’s a thing! The heavens opened up during the Soley Cove morning tour with Joyce and Ron from North Carolina. These folks didn’t mind: they are now practiced up for their extended tour of Newfoundland next. 😊
