The Town of Red Bay would like to say Congratulations and a HUGE “THANK YOU” to our very own Cindy Gibbons today! After 25 years with Parks Canada and a wonderful career working to move our beautiful home forward, including seeing our town and site declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013, Cindy worked her last day today, and will be enjoying a well deserved retirement. What a contribution this wonderful lady has made to Red Bay and Labrador! Your awesome work is so appreciated Cindy and the Town of Red Bay is so very fortunate to have had you dedicate your career to its advancement and success. Well done lovely lady, well done indeed !!! 😊

Good day Red Bay! What a beautiful August day out there! 😊. The Town of Red Bay and the Red Bay Heritage Committee are currently looking at options and opportunities available to us regarding the Orange Lodge. We’ve had some initial assessment work done and will be having a meeting around the middle of September.

We would like to give any resident the opportunity to express any concerns, questions, ideas, or thoughts regarding this community treasure, either in writing, or verbally at the Town Office, by Friday, September 11/26.

This item will also be included on the agenda of our next town council meeting and you are free to submit something in writing or request to speak at the council meeting should you have anything to add on the matter of the Lodge.

It is believed by many that this is a valuable piece of our community history and with some TLC and maintenance, the building and its story would be of huge interest to those visiting from near and far.

No changes or work is imminent at this point, so this is an opportunity to voice your thoughts. The Heritage Committee is in a position to use assessments from local experts and contractors to look into funding options and would like to proceed if possible in early fall. But we would like anyone with concerns or questions to bring them to our attention before proceeding with any applications or action.

Thank you! Please respond by Friday, September 11, 2026. As always, THANK YOU Red Bay! 😊
