Capital Commission new regional heritage fair award

A new award for student projects on a provincial capital theme will be available at regional heritage fairs throughout the province this spring. The announcement was made today by the New Brunswick Provincial Capital Commission.

"Part of the commission's mandate is to engage New Brunswick students in learning more about their heritage," said Walter Brown, chair of the commission's board of directors. "Last year, we hosted the students and families during the provincial fair in the capital, so we are very proud to take the next step by funding the capital award this year."

Cover of the Report on the Findings from the Heritage Colloquium on the Values and Attitudes of Young People towards Heritage
Report on the Findings from the Heritage Colloquium on the Values and Attitudes of Young People towards Heritage

What do young people in their 20s think about heritage?
Do young people care about their past?
Will they choose to visit, learn about and invest in their shared history?

How these attributes manifest around heritage is an important question for the heritage community to think about. This was the underlying motivation behind the Heritage Colloquium on the Values and Attitudes of Young People towards Heritage.
