EASTERN REGIONAL SERVICE BOARD ANNOUNCES DEADLINE EXTENSION FOR ACCESS CARDS FOLLOWING PUBLIC FEEDBACK
In response to valuable feedback from our community leaders and residents, the Eastern Regional Service Board (ERSB) is extending the deadline for the requirement for use of access cards at our waste recovery facilities to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to obtain their card. The ERSB is committed to ensuring that all residents have full access to these facilities.
The deadline was originally set for April 1, 2025; however, the new deadline will now be January 2, 2026.
This change comes after carefully listening to public feedback and recognizing the need for additional time to accommodate requests and concerns raised by community leaders and residents.
“We listened and we have heard you, said Stephen Tessier, Chairperson. “It has become clear that the users of our waste recovery facilities need more time for the implementation of these access cards. We are committed to being responsive, transparent and supportive in this process.”
The extension aims to provide more time for residents to apply for their access card.
For more information about these access cards, please visit our website at https://easternregionalserviceboard.com.
For more information about this deadline extension, please contact Will Hilliard, Communications Coordinator at whilliard@ersbnl.ca.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
TOWN OF HEART’S CONTENT
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONSThe Heart’s Content Development Regulations contain two references to the date that the Town’s Heritage Regulations were adopted and came into effect. When Council recently updated the Heritage Regulations, these references became invalid and created a disconnect between the two legal documents.
To correct this inconsistency, the Town Council proposes to amend its Development Regulations to remove any reference to the date that the Heritage Regulations were adopted, thereby ensuring that one set of regulations does not invalidate the other.
The first change will be in the definition of Heritage Regulations in Part 2 of the Development Regulations. It will remove the existing reference to the adoption date. Similarly, the second change will remove the reference to the adoption date in the introductory paragraph to Part 9.5 – Heritage District Zone.
The proposed amendment is available for viewing at the Town Office during regular office hours or will be emailed on request.

News/2024
Over the past year our UNESCO committee has been actively engaged with our community partners in identifying projects that we need completed to be ready for UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE STATUS co-chaired by Clarence Brown and Glenda Hiscock.
There are several projects that we are working on, and of course this all depends on funding from ACOA and IET, and most important acquiring ownership of the lands around the Hopkins landing area.
- Hopkins Landing – phase 1 and phase 2 are needed to safely welcome Cruise ship visitors to our town and visitors entering our Registered Heritage District via Bus or car.
- Pleasure walking through the town (sidewalks etc.)
- Sense of arrival Stations coming into the town at the lighthouse lookout. (rest stops)
- Lighthouse land upgrades and Bathroom facilities.
- LTOs for trails to the mizzen and the lousy rock.
- Tourism opportunity sessions.
During our visit to Valentia, Ireland in June we had several workshops to identify what we can do together and a new committee was formed between Valentia, Ireland and Hearts Content, Newfoundland called the Community Project Initiative Committee and we meet Virtually every month to discuss new ideas.
We hope to share branding opportunities and culture exchange between the communities.
Presently we are working on 360-degree Virtual experience where visitors entering both cable stations can visit the other station virtually.
There are also plans to have the lighthouses in Valentia and Hearts content included.
Also, a school program is being worked on to promote our history to children in our school system.
The main part of everything we do is collaboration between Valentia and all our municipalities in the Trinity conception area.
Attracting new Tourism businesses to the area, using and sharing the assets that all our communities in the area have to offer, will also play a big part in our mandate.
We are doing Tourism opportunities sessions with Municipalities, lSDs and businesses in Collaboration with Tourism, Hospitality NL and Legendary Coasts and soon Tourism Ireland.
TCAR/PROVNCIAL HISTORIC sites will be giving the Town of Hearts Content an update on our UNESCO progress in the next couple of weeks
