Group Introduction "For present and future generation everywhere"
Newfoundland and Labrador are Canada's most kinship provinces, inhabited by settlers
of British/Irish origin and Aboriginal people. In 2008, the “Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage Foundation” was
established to systematically manage the intangible cultural heritage here.
As a first activity, they measured people's awareness of ICH issues and published a booklet called “What is ICH”
to help the community better understand intangible cultural heritage. They operate a variety of programs and
community-based workshops that introduce the concept of intangible cultural heritage and provide practical education.
It was approved as an accredited non-governmental organization by UNESCO in 2014, and is currently carrying out many
activities, such as compiling a list of intangible cultural heritage.
