Islanders are going to be given the opportunity to participate in a new study designed to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges facing heritage in Prince Edward Island.
Carolyn Bertram, Minister of the Department of Communities, Cultural Affairs and Labour announced Tuesday that the Iris Group of Stratford has been selected as the consultant to conduct a comprehensive study and make recommendations to address needs in the heritage sector.
Bertram expressed her hopes that Islanders would take advantage of the opportunities for public participation and provide input into the study.
'This is the first overall look at our local heritage for several decades, and I want Islanders to let us know what they think is important to protect and preserve in the province,' she said. 'We all value our heritage but we need to establish priorities for action which reflect the desires and needs of Islanders.'
Bertram said previous studies focussed on specific institutions or initiatives but an overall comprehensive review is long overdue. 'This study will look at a wide range of heritage issues,' she said. 'It will look at our tangible heritage: artifacts, buildings and cultural landscapes.
