Just 15 minutes south of St. John’s, nestled in the heart of the small community of Petty Harbour, we find the red paneled walls of the Island Rooms. Here is where Fishing for Success, and project manager Kimberly Orren, lead a non-profit community teaching traditional fishing knowledge and culture.
“I grew up in Newfoundland, and when I was a kid you just went down to the wharf and helped bring in and process the fish,” Orren explained while we sat in the nearby waterShed Coffee Shop looking out onto the rooms. “It just always amazed me. It was an amazing childhood to have access to something like that.”
