WHAT'S NEW AT LORD: NEW PROJECTS, NEW IDEAS
“Anne of Green Gables and Lucy Maud Montgomery's novels have become key to PEI's tourism economy, drawing thousands of visitor's each year. The Island’s population of 177,000 swells in the summer to more than a half a million visitors, with about six per cent coming just for Anne.”
In 2015 Parks Canada contracted Lord Cultural Resources in association with Architecture49 to develop a Master Plan to guide the redevelopment of Green Gables Heritage Place. The result was a recommendation for a new visitor centre that explored the universal themes of imagination, belonging, beauty, freedom, home and friendship, allowing the interpretation to consider the fictional Anne, the factual Lucy Maud Montgomery, and the landscape that inspired her. We also produced the Interpretation and Exhibition Design Concept and developed the content for the entire Visitor Centre permanent exhibition and outdoor trail experience.

The Arts Council consulted with Lord Cultural Resources whose mission statement is ‘making the world a better place through culture’, and that starts from within their team. We’ve had the honor of working with a powerhouse team from Lord. They’ve impressed city officials, community leaders, and Rockford Region residents with their knowledge of Rockford’s history and their Rockford current events proficiency — I hear about regional wins from the Lord team before they hit our media’s websites.”
