Harbour Grace Board of Culture, Innovation and Business Inc.

The Harbour Grace Board of Culture, Innovation and Business Inc. (HGCIB) is a non-profit corporation seeking to promote and revitalize Harbour Grace’s heritage, culture and natural assets for the purposes of tourism and economic development.

The HGCIB was formed in early 2019 as an outcome of Heritage NL’s People, Places and Culture Workshop with the Town of Harbour Grace. The final report of this workshop recommended the community form an effective development organization, with Council representation through liaisons, which could plan, develop and manage projects for the betterment of the community.

As a result, in early 2019, the Town published an expression of interest for volunteers willing to serve on such a committee. In April 2019, the HGCIB incorporated with the mandate to inventory Harbour Grace’s historical assets, both tangible and intangible, and create a broad tourism plan to develop said assets.

Since the COVID interruption of 2020, the board has continued its projects such as the Oral Histories of Harbour Grace, Production of The Remarkable Story of Harbour Grace, Pirates to Pilots Festival and a number of other projects under development.
