The Government of Canada is investing $37,750 through the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program (CIP 150) and the provincial government is investing $22,500 through the Department of Business, Tourism, Culture and Rural Development for the Sir William Ford Coaker Heritage Foundation to renovate Sheppard House in the Port Union Heritage District.

This project involves a growing partnership of cultural craft stakeholders including Cape Random Trust; the Bonaventure to English Harbour Development Association (BEDA); the Sir William Ford Coaker Heritage Foundation; and the Home from the Sea Foundation, which are working together to enhance small business opportunities on the Bonavista Peninsula.

Their project will improve training and professional development for craft and gift shop managers and crafts producers, help develop products by enhancing the visitor experience through the development of engaging and learning cultural experiences, and will provide support for a planner to assist the group in implementing these activities.
