The Cliffs of Fundy Aspiring Geopark has cleared a major hurdle on the road to UNESCO designation.
The steering committee for the project has had its application accepted by the Canadian Geoparks Network, and has been approved for site evaluation by the Canadian National Committee for Geoparks this summer.
Application Progress
The Steering Committee of the Cliffs of Fundy Aspiring Geopark has submitted its application to the Canadian Geoparks Network, which will deliberate and determine if Cliffs of Fundy will proceed to the next step in becoming a Global Geopark. This is an exciting time for the committee! Spring and Summer are going to be busy with preparations for a possible site visit from the Canadian evaluation team.

Congratulations to an incredible geoscientist and friend who with her husband Dr, David Piper is making Parrsboro and the Cliffs of Fundy their new home."Mentorship is developed by experience and is very different from both teaching on the one hand and human resource management on the other.

A Geopark is a designation that attracts tourists wishing to explore the connections between geology, local communities, culture, and nature. Geoparks are designed to promote tourism and celebrate a region’s uniqueness, and do not prohibit any land use.
