The Provincial Government continues to support and promote Newfoundland and Labrador’ s cultural heritage through the provision of operational support to community-based heritage organizations throughout the province.
The Honourable Clyde Jackman, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Recreation, today announced $821,035 in operational funding for 115 heritage organizations, approved under the Cultural Economic Development Program (CEDP).
“The Provincial Government continues to work with heritage organizations to enhance their ability to protect and preserve our unique heritage resources,” said Minister Jackman. “With day-to-day operational support through the CEDP program, the heritage sector in Newfoundland and Labrador can continue to engage the public by presenting our heritage in meaningful and innovative ways.”
The amount of operational support each organization receives is determined through a formula calculation, based on a group’ s eligible operating expenses and best practices in heritage management. The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador encourages the implementation of best practices to enhance the preservation, management and interpretation of the province’ s cultural resources.
A complete list of organizations receiving funding can be found in the backgrounder below.
Budget 2009 includes $150,000 in new funding for the heritage component of the CEDP program, including operational and project support, bringing the total annual budget to $1.3 million.
Since the release of Creative Newfoundland and Labrador: The Blueprint for Development and Investment in Culture in 2006, the Provincial Government continues to build a stronger cultural sector; with more than $25 million in new funding injected in the past four years.
