Heritage
River Project Update - January 2009
Our two summer student Research Analysts,
Aaron Day and Dan Kingsbury, have completed a remarkable compilation of natural, cultural and historical assets along the Canadian side of the St. Lawrence River from Kingston to the
Quebec border. Their work was presented at this year’s annual general meeting, where an official from the Canadian Heritage Rivers System hailed it as one of the most comprehensive background studies that he had ever seen! Visit www.slhr.ca
With the ingredients gathering steps completed, what remains to be done is writing the formal nomination application for Canadian Heritage River Status for the upper
St. Lawrence River. This will require the services of a professional writer with whom TIARA will contract once we have been reimbursed by Heritage Rivers for all of our project expenses to date.
At the same time, we plan to further develop relationships with our many contacts and area champions which the researchers and TIARA Directors identified during the project. To accomplish this, the project committee is planning to host a series of receptions along the river with the goals of promoting awareness of the project and to recruit members of a broader river based committee that will eventually oversee and maintain the designation.
