The Rotarians acted as sponsors for this grant. You can become a Friend of Grand Manan Trails and receive an annual newsletter, adopt a trail or portion thereof, or buy a crest to help fund the continual maintenance of our trails. We have a representative on the Grand Manan Transportation Committee. We annually attend a trade show in New Brunswick, once a year, to promote Grand Manan. We are a member of the Fundy Coastal Drive Marketing Club which attends five trade shows a year promoting the Fundy Coastal Drive of New Brunswick.
Funding is from memberships, donations, advertising, sign space rental, and sale of publications.
We are a member of the Quoddy Coastal Tourism Association. The Grand Manan Chamber of Commerce began as the Grand Manan Board of Trade in 1944. The main thrust for the formation of the Board of Trade was a new ferry for the island. In 1945 the HMS Elk, renamed the Grand Manan III was put into service. As a member you are entitled to the Chamber of Commerce Group Insurance Plan, attend monthly meetings, be included in our web page, and be a member of the Grand Manan Tourism Association.
