Community Involvement in Pigeon Inlet
Younger members of the community have become involved. Mrs. Wendy King of Coley’s Point Primary has received funding for her students to study “Pigeon Inlet” and the writings of Ted Russell under the “Cultural Connections: K-12 Arts and Cultural Strategy” sponsored by the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Education. Kelly Russell will be visiting her classes and performing his father’s stories, as well as demonstrating his musical skills. The children will learn about Newfoundland culture as illustrated in Newfoundland literature, foods, and music.
Older members of the community are also excited by the Pigeon Inlet Project. The Regional Quilters’ Guild has formally adopted the name: Pigeon Inlet Quilters.
