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.
