    Heart’s Content UNESCO Community Rural Development Committe

    News/2024

    Over the past year our UNESCO committee has been actively engaged with our community partners in identifying projects that we need completed to be ready for UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE STATUS co-chaired by Clarence Brown and Glenda Hiscock. 

    There are several projects that we are working on, and of course this all depends on funding from ACOA and  IET, and most important acquiring ownership of the lands around the Hopkins landing area.

    1. Hopkins Landing – phase 1 and phase 2 are needed to safely welcome Cruise ship visitors to our town and visitors entering our Registered Heritage District via Bus or car.
    2. Pleasure walking through the town (sidewalks etc.)
    3. Sense of arrival Stations coming into the town at the lighthouse lookout. (rest stops)
    4. Lighthouse land upgrades and Bathroom facilities.
    5. LTOs for trails to the mizzen and the lousy rock.
    6. Tourism opportunity sessions.

    During our visit to Valentia, Ireland in June we had several workshops to identify what we can do together and a new committee was formed between Valentia, Ireland and Hearts Content, Newfoundland called the Community Project Initiative Committee and we meet Virtually every month to discuss new ideas.

    We hope to share branding opportunities and culture exchange between the communities.

    Presently we are working on 360-degree Virtual experience where visitors entering both cable stations can visit the other station virtually.

    There are also plans to have the lighthouses in Valentia and Hearts content included.

    Also, a school program is being worked on to promote our history to children in our school system.

    The main part of everything we do is collaboration between Valentia and all our municipalities in the Trinity conception area.

    Attracting new Tourism businesses to the area, using and sharing the assets that all our communities in the area have to offer, will also play a big part in our mandate.

    We are doing Tourism opportunities sessions with Municipalities, lSDs and businesses in Collaboration with Tourism, Hospitality NL and Legendary Coasts and soon Tourism Ireland.

    TCAR/PROVNCIAL HISTORIC sites will be giving the Town of Hearts Content an update on our UNESCO progress in the next couple of weeks
