TRANSITIONS IS FOCUSED ON TWO PRIORITIES:
1. Work with Rights Holders and Stakeholders to raise awareness, conduct research, and fund pilot projects that highlight the rural river section of the waterway, including its unique natural and cultural histories, the world’s highest tides, fishing, mining, dairy farming, and rapidly changing rural communities.
2. Substantially rework and augment the exhibit space at the Fairbanks Centre in Dartmouth to include these research findings and to promote cultural awareness of the contributions of underrepresented people, notably women and families, Mi’kmaq, Acadians, Gaels, African Nova Scotians, and immigrants.
