Traditional Skills Network
The Traditional Skills Network is an ongoing and evolving program serving the people of the Strait of Belle Isle in Quebec and Labrador. By supporting local artisans in a variety of community venues, it serves to "bridge the gap" between the traditions of our ancestors and today's society through the preservation and transmission of traditional craft skills.
