The Bell Mine a heritage site.

The Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador (HFNL) is proud to announce the recent designation of the Bell Island No. 2 Mine as a Registered Heritage Structure. It is the first engineering works of its kind to achieve such a designation by the province. I have attached a short article announcing the designation of the Bell Island No. 2 Mine. We would be pleased if you were able to put it in your publication. Please advise if you are unable to read the attachment.

To view designated structures, visit www.heritagefoundation.ca. HFNL was established in 1984 to stimulate an understanding of and an appreciation for the architectural heritage of the province and to support and contribute to the preservation and restoration of buildings of architectural or historical significance in the province. Since its creation, the Foundation has designated 261 buildings as Registered Heritage Structures. It has disbursed more than $1.1 million in restoration grants across Newfoundland and Labrador, with an estimated economic spin off of close to eight times that amount.
