Important Announcement
Please read the following statement from the Port de Grave Peninsula Heritage Society Inc.
The Port de Grave Peninsula Heritage Society wishes to bring to the attention of the Public that just recently a visitor to the Green Point Light House site came across a bag of garbage which had been thrown there deliberately.
The Society has carried out there own assessment by cleaning up the mess and while doing so examined the garbage bag contents where the name of a person and their telephone number was discovered on at least two different pieces of paper. This will entail further investigation.
The Society wishes to advise those responsible that careful observation of the area will be implemented shortly. We request the assistance of the General Public to keep a close observation of the area and report any suspicious activity to either of the Directors. In addition we want to thank the general public for your tremendous support and concern regarding this matter

Historical Event: Transfer of St. Mark’s Aug 21, 2018
An historic event took place this date, August 21, 2018 on the Port de Grave Peninsula. Today the Port de Grave Peninsula Heritage Society received the official transfer for the former St. Mark’s Church and Schoolhouse from the Anglican Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador for the sum of $1.00.
Representing the Diocese was The Ven. Sam Rose who made the transfer to Dr. Adrian Lear on behalf of the Society. A large crowd were in attendance including former members of the Society, Gerald Andrews, Edwin Hussey and former MHA and MP the Hon. John Efford.
The church will now be housing the Canadian Coast Guard Alumni treasures collected from different parts of Newfoundland and Labrador and has been in storage for the past twenty years. The building will also be used for a number of events tba.
Immediately following the ceremony a delicious lunch was served in the now known Canon Richard’s Tearoom.
