Through the Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage pro- gram, the HAHN will be receiving $12,200. This grant will go towards sev- eral walking tours and speakers' series with Local historians at the event, as well as the arts and crafts exhibits, thea- tre performances and concerts that each herit- age site will feature. "We're happy to part- ner with the county on initiatives like this," Lobb said. "It's a great working relationship and I hope to keep this moving for- ward. We're really fortu- nate that we live in Huron and Bruce coun- ties and to have people who take this kind of ini- tiative on." Lobb said Huron County has a rich culture and heritage and that partnership funding helps to put an emphasis on these aspects. The total contribution from the federal govern- ment through Heritage Canada is somewhere between $60,000 and $70,000 per year, with the money going towards the numerous festivals that take place across the country. "If you look within Huron and Bruce coun- ties, there are a lot of cul- tural events that are tak- ing place now that maybe didn't take place 25 years ago," Lobb said. "Those [the festivals and events] are good investments because it helps drive tourists to the area and keeps things interesting." Lobb said the festivals and events are also worth the investment because they help to not only inject money into the local economy, but edu- cate local residents and youth about some of the historical significance in some of these communities, as well as the people that these events draw in from other areas. "It always astounds me when people say they love places like the Huron County Museum because I think our herit- age is something we take for granted," said Meighan Wark, the county librarian and director of cultural ser- vices for the Huron County Library, Museum and Historic Gaol. "I think it's different for those who come from away because it is so dif- ferent here. Huron County is a piece of rural Canada, it's like a win- dow to people and some- thing we often forget that we're lucky to have." Wark said the HAHN and the County of Huron have worked diligently to engage the community through various cultural initiatives, referring to Doors Open as yet another example of how they are trying to increase the profile of culture in Huron County.
