UNB, Parks Canada team for summer program at Fortress Louisbourg
UNB and Parks Canada have teamed up to offer a bioarchaeology field program in Cape Breton this summer. It’ll document, protect and preserve 18th-century burial grounds at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site, which are threatened by coastal erosion. Students will help provide new insights into the population’s health and well-being during an important period in Canada’s history.
