United Nations Day is approaching

Once again it is almost United Nations day. Be sure to come visit the centre on October 24th to celebrate with us. Everyone is welcome to join, free of charge. There will be complementary snacks and refreshments. The event runs from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.

Thanks to the Cumberland Regional Economic Development Association we are pleased to announce that Tim Badman will be returning to Joggins to give a talk. Tim is currently working for the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which is an advisory board to the United Nations. Between 2000-2006 he was the team leader of the Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site so he knows his stuff when it comes to Natural World Heritage.

Our Curator of Paleontology Melissa Grey, Ph.D and our Director, Jenna Boon will be presenting an overview of our 2010 operating season. Want to learn more about what goes into running a world heritage site for a year? Then this presenation is for you.

Westcumb Amateur Radio Club will be setting up shop and will be doing radio broadcasts with other UNESCO sites around the world.

See you here at the Centre!
