Strategic Development Initiative

The initiative encourages "partners-in-heritage" to develop projects that build on a community's assets and strengths. Partners could include archives, community organizations, museums, heritage associations, municipal governments, regional development authorities and not-for-profit groups that are exploring common heritage objectives. Priority is given to projects that focus on increased self-sufficiency in the province's growing heritage sector and those involving multiple partners working for the benefit of Nova Scotian heritage.
