The Ministry of Community and Cultural Affairs presents Heritage Month Exhibition '98, highlighting the chosen theme for this year -- Unity through Diversity.

The individual is the focus for the month of May, and people from many walks of life are portrayed in our current times.

A large scale ferry exhibit demonstrates that people's lives are truly dependent on one another.

The show attempts to expose the viewpoint and interests of local people in general, provide a forum to discuss different points of view, and reveal how they fit into the whole that is our Island community.

*** Harbour Nights begins again this Wednesday -- when Front Street is closed down and vendors with their arts crafts and food take over the street. From 6.30 p.m. to 9 p.m. people can wonder through town and also take advantage of late night shopping and the different entertainment.
