GUYSBOROUGH COUNTY HERITAGE ASSOCIATION
The Guysborough County Heritage Association (GCHA) became a registered non-profit society in July of 2002. The society consists of approximately 17 heritage/culture organizations from across the county.
The their intentions are to work as a cohesive group to develop the county’s heritage and in turn present this facet of the county’s cultural mosaic to its various publics.
Given the diversity of members and associations who belong to this collective, the general consensus of the group was the need to determine a framework from which to evolve and grow. Guysborough County Heritage Association began the implementation process for their strategic plan in October 2003 and concluded this process in May 2004, with the assistance of the Guysborough County Regional Development Authority staff. Through a strategic planning process, the organization wanted to establish its long-term goals by developing a community vision statement as well as devising a framework to meet the goals of the group. Those involved with the process were members and executive who are representing their respective groups.
