Media Advisory: Coastal Stewardship Agreement to be Signed in Labrador

The Honourable John Hickey, Minister of Labrador and Aboriginal Affairs, on behalf of the Honourable Charlene Johnson, Minister of Environment and Conservation, will sign a coastal stewardship agreement with the Town of Cartwright today (Tuesday, July 13).

The agreement signing ceremony will take place in Cartwright at the town council office at 2:00 p.m.

The Coastal Stewardship Program was developed by the Eastern Habitat Joint Venture (EHJV) to encourage communities that have a historic relationship with coastal areas frequented by eider ducks to recognize the value of this resource and to accept a stewardship role in maintaining their integrity. The Newfoundland and Labrador division of the EHJV is administered through the Department of Environment and Conservation.
