Heritage NL’s Craft at Risk Project has been nominated for a national award.
The initiative has been placed on the short list for the Governor General’s History Award for Excellence in Community Programming, presented by the National History Society.
The project aims to assess, preserve, and revive historic crafts and skills in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Over the last two years, 67 training events have been held with more than 1,000 participants, resulting in the documentation of more than twenty historic skills through a variety of mediums.
