Partnerships

You may have seen the recent case study by the Canadian Tourism Commission on how the success of the CTC's Showcases is built on partnerships - http://en-corporate.canada.travel/content/ctc_news/case-study-showcases-partnerships. The Great Northern Peninsula Heritage Network is also very dependent on its partners for success and we thought we'd take a minute to give a big shout out to them all.

In no specific order, here they are: Dept of Tourism, Culture & Recreation (TCR), Museum Association of NL (MANL), Association of Heritage Industries (AHI), Association of NL Archives (ANLA), RED Ochre Regional Board Inc., Nordic Economic Development Corporation, Parks Canada, Community Research Recovery Alliance (CURRA), Innovation, Business and Rural Development (IBRD), Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), Viking Trail Tourism Association (VTTA) and there are many more that we are working with to develop partnerships as we speak.
