Labrador Fishery Legacy Workshop

Each year the Battle Harbour Historic Trust organizes the Labrador
Fishery Legacy Workshop. The topic for the 2007 workshop is the role of
the churches in the lives of people who lived and worked on the coast of
Labrador and made their living from this incredible fishing industry.
Guest speakers will present a series of talks on a variety of topics
including the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches in Southern Labrador,
the Moravian Church on the North Coast, the influences of itinerant
ministers and clergy, and other topics related to the significance of
the Churches in the coastal communities.

2007 is an ideal time for this workshop as it is the 150th anniversary
of the consecration of St. James the Apostle Anglican Church at Battle
Harbour. The Trust, in conjunction with the Anglican Church, is
planning a celebration to mark this historic occasion. The workshop
will coincide with the celebrations which will take place on Sunday,
August 19.
