Stonger Together.
The Earhart Cultural Heritage Organization is collaborative by nature. We understand that by supporting each other we can build stronger communities where all are welcome.
Over the years we've partnered with municipalities, local businesses, and have worked with our provincial government to find programs and services that best serve our mandate and mission.
Here is a list of our current and past partnerships:
Corporate
● Nuspora Life Sciences Inc.- is headed up by Dion Finlay, CEO and Bill Bryden, COO
ECHO is thrilled to partner with Nuspora Life Sciences Inc. - a new and well supported mushroom growing operation in Trepassey. Nuspora is spearheaded by Dion Finlay who has roots in our region and wants to invest in local people and our communities. In addition to impacting local food security issues, he is motivated to create jobs and partnerships. After attending our annual general meeting as a guest speaker, and being impressed with the work our organization has been doing, he approached ECHO with a partnership invitation which we have eagerly entered into.
Together we're working on our regional food security issues. More to come!
