Our History
CCNL was created in 1992 by the Economic Recovery Commission to increase quality employment, training and career-development opportunities for youth and community partners within the province in the areas of environmental and cultural conservation.
CCNL was incorporated in 1993 as a not-for-profit agency governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and in 1996 it received charitable organization status from Revenue Canada. Since 1993 it has received annual funding from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, enabling staff to leverage federal, community and corporate funding to operate a wide variety of programs. CCNL is a provincial community based organization that works to facilitate a strong environmental ethic and create partnerships and capacity in communities across the province to address environmental and cultural priorities.
CCNL programs focus on providing youth employment opportunities, environmental education and supporting communities and partner organizations to address conservation priorities and build climate resilience.
