The\u00a0Pelee Island Heritage Centre\u00a0<\/strong>aspires to research, collect and preserve the evidence of the Island\u2019s
(and neighbours\u2019) human history, to protect the community\u2019s natural heritage, and to educate the public
about our combined heritage through exhibits, publications, special presentations and our extended stay
education program. It is understood, moreover, that the Heritage Centre, through the benefit of hindsight,
should play a role in informing current community planning issues.<\/p>\n
