Building on the contributions of previous Board members, past chairs, volunteers, academic institutions, community partners, municipalities, funding agencies and UNSECO evaluators, the Discovery UNESCO Global Geopark is poised to take the next steps into unlocking its full potential.
These efforts are timed to coincide with the implementation of the Atlantic UNESCO Tourism Corridor Strategy Program as part of Destination Canadas efforts to create a more resilient tourism industry through accelerated destination development of corridors across Canada.
To prepare the Discovery UNESCO Global Geopark for its future growth and expansion, the current Board of Directors, with the support of its funding partners – the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and the Department of Innovation Energy and Technology – have launched a process of organizational and governance renewal. The goal of the renewal process is to broaden community participation through providing increased opportunities for engagement, and to strengthen operational practices by enhancing and improving policies, procedures and processes.
The Vision is to have an organization with deep roots in the community, governed by skilled and enthusiastic Board members with an unshakeable commitment to collaboration and shared values, and utilizing the skills of interested volunteers and staff to develop and implement a multi-year comprehensive management plan.
