Kings
Landing ‘a magical place and we want it to keep going’
The Daily Gleaner, August 22, 2014 - The
Kings Landing Foundation has been formed to raise funding to sustain the
40-year-old historic settlement’s future.
Carol
Loughrey, the foundation’s president, said its goal is to ensure Kings Landing
will continue to preserve New Brunswick artifacts and social history into the
future.
She said
the foundation will raise money through soliciting donations and accessing
grants and other funding sources that aren’t accessible to Kings Landing
because it’s a Crown corporation.
Now that
the settlement is into its fourth decade, she said, there are many pieces of
infrastructure that need repair or replacement and that takes money, which the
foundation will help raise...
...the foundation wants to ensure the historical settlement is
able to continue to serve as an educational resource for students throughout
the province and, perhaps, the rest of the country.
“We want to
set up interactive media that can go into the schools so you can give kids a
taste of this,” she said.
