Message from
Mayor Gary Goobie
As summer 2014 slips into the history books, it is time to turn
our focus on the coming seasons. On behalf of my Town Council
colleagues it is my pleasure to introduce our first Holyrood
Community Guide which outlines a host of activities, programs, and
information for Fall 2014.
Things are happening in Holyrood and we want to ensure you have
an opportunity to be actively involved in all we have to offer. This
Community Guide identifies opportunities for all ages from child
to senior in recreation and healthy living. The experience is just
waiting for you to accept the challenge and become involved.
The Town of Holyrood is alive with growth & development. We
are pleased we can offer you the opportunity to live, learn, work
and play in a Town that is growing. We are surrounded by an
atmosphere of excitement and control all wrapped up in one neat
package. Our Town stands at the starting line of something wonderful as we find new ways to diversify our
economy and build our tax base so we can continue to provide new and improved services to the residents.
Council and Staff wish to welcome our students, teachers and support staff back to another year of learning.
May each and every one of you reach your goals in a safe and happy environment. To all residents, take the
time to read our Community Guide and see how you can become engaged with us as we continue to build our
Town. It is your town, your home; please get involved and enjoy each day in Holyrood.

can ask questions, receive information and hear first-hand accounts
of how rewarding volunteer firefighting can be. Most members
have to travel outside of Holyrood to work and are not able to be
called to fight fires if necessary. This is why attracting new recruits
is so important.

New

Holyrood, like much of rural Newfoundland and Labrador, has
felt the sting of outmigration. But renewal is underway, thanks
to a highly innovative strategy of social innovation that’s
creating a bulletproof economy and transforming the town
By Andrew SAfer
Another busload of children arrives. At the Marine Institute’s Centre for Applied Ocean Technology
facility on Holyrood Harbour, some kids are getting up close and personal with sea critters while
others are inspecting an underwater glider that’s on display. Outside, Ron Lewis, a research laboratory co-ordinator at Memorial University, is standing on the dock by the Explorer, a yellow robotic
submarine that’s an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). A student with Memorial’s Eastern
Edge Robotics team is flying a remotely operated vehicle at the end of the floating dock. A group
of children passes a yellow buoy to climb aboard a fast-rescue craft, motor out into the bay, and
watch as a school of dolphins surfaces. A minke whale appears. Off in the distance, two fishing
boats haul in their wares. Across the bay, sailboats stream out from the Terra Nova yacht club.
“It was a magical day that none of those kids will ever forget,” says Barry Snow, referring to the
open house for the Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland. The event
took place at its Holyrood Marine Base during the 25th anniversary of the town’s SquidFest in July
of 2013. Formerly a senior executive of the provincial Department of Innovation, Business and Rural
Development (IBRD), Snow is now the executive director of OceansAdvance Inc., the organization that
represents Newfoundland and Labrador’s ocean technology cluster. “There were 10-year-olds who
were inspired to look at a career in ocean science and ocean technology that day,” he says. “The kids
were out of their gourds with excitement.”

Kids touch sea critters at this year’s
SquidFest in Holyrood.
The Fisheries and Marine Institute of
Memorial University of Newfoundland (a.k.a.
the Marine Institute) has invested nearly
$4 million in the Holyrood Marine Base, which
opened in 2010, to support at-sea research
and training for students, researchers, and
clients in the oceans sector. The MV Anne S.
Pierce, a 116-foot research-and-training vessel, is available year-round, weather permitting.
The Marine Base also enables the live testing
of ocean technology products such as the
Explorer and a host of other innovative products developed by companies such as eSonar
Inc. and Whitecap Scientific Corp.
In December of 2012, the Marine
Institute’s Centre for Applied Ocean
Technology relocated its staff of 10 from St.
John’s to a newly constructed 6,000-squarefoot building in Holyrood Harbour. Glenn
Blackwood, the vice-president of Memorial
University (Marine Institute), reports that
demand is already outstripping the capacity
of the at-sea testing facility. The facility was
used on 300 days between April 1, 2013, and
March 31, 2014. Over the last two years, the
Marine Base has supported
$2.5 million in oceantech projects by the
Marine Institute, plus others carried out by
other Memorial departments and industry.
Expansion is key to the Marine Institute’s
grand plan to be recognized by 2020 as a
world-class oceans institute on the scale of the
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods
Hole, Mass., specializing in safety and survival training, experiential learning, oceantech/
fishing-gear testing, and fisheries research. The
Marine Institute is currently training thousands of
people a year in safety and survival skills alone.

build a breakwater, marginal wharves, related
marine infrastructure, and a 40,000-square-foot
multipurpose research-and-training facility.
The flurry of activity at the Marine Base
inspired the Town of Holyrood to launch the
Oceans Holyrood Initiative (OHI) in 2013, which
aims to foster, enable, and accelerate an oceantech community in the region. “Access to the
cold, arctic, pristine ocean creates opportunities
for a diversified economy,” says Gary Corbett,
Holyrood’s chief administrative officer. Based
on the Marine Institute’s assets and use of this
digitally mapped, sheltered, and unobstructed
bay, the town has developed a business case
to establish an identity as a leader in the ocean
technology sector.
What has traditionally served as a squidjigging ground is in the process of morphing
into a business-service centre for the “blue
economy.” Strong community collaboration
is evident in the makeup of the OHI advisory
board, which includes ocean techology experts
from the Holyrood Marine Base, Memorial
University of Newfoundland, the private sector,
and OceansAdvance Inc., as well as representatives from the town, the provincial IBRD, the
Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA),
and local and regional economic-development
boards. Through the OHI, Holyrood plans to
create a business-and-technology oceans and
industrial park supplemented with a model residential development that will support a cluster
of oceantech companies and organizations.
One key feature of the OHI is an oceans
technology park, which will be developed as
a 100-acre business park in Phase I and will
grow to 1,000 acres over the next 20-plus
years to include an industrial park. One thousand acres of Crown land has been frozen to
allow for a concept plan. The industrial park
will feature lay-down areas that will enable the
oil and gas industry to load trucks and drive to
Bull Arm (about 100 kilometres away) or Long
Harbour (about 65 kilometres away) or the St.
John’s dockyard (30 minutes away) without
passing through any residential areas and with
only encountering a minimum number of
street lights.
Snow led the development of the OHI
strategic plan last year for Holyrood and was
appointed executive director at OceansAdvance
Inc. in February. He says the fact that

Holyrood Harbour is at the heart of
the area’s marine-research activities.
The Holyrood facility of the Marine Institute
Centre for Applied Ocean Technology
Schlumberger Ltd. has located in Holyrood
shows that the town meets the industry’s site
selection criteria. Holyrood is ideally positioned
as a transportation hub because it’s equidistant
between St. John’s and Clarenville and has
access to the South Shore, Cape Shore, and
Conception Bay North.
the next frontier
Gary Corbett has his finger on the OHI’s pulse.
He sits at his desk in a spacious office in the
municipality’s recently renovated building one
kilometre from the Marine Base. Noting the
town’s small population of 2,200, he notes that
its geographical size, 126 square kilometres, is
seven and a half times as large as the City of
Mount Pearl (population: 25,000). “There’s a
lot of room to grow,” he says. “We feel we are
the next frontier.” Corbett led the effort to convert this building, formerly occupied by Eastern
Health, to offices for both his staff and oceanindustry organizations that want to establish a
presence in Holyrood. He isn’t one to wait on
the sidelines for the grand-plan-cum-business
park to materialize.
Two businesses have located there since
the renovations were completed a year ago.
The first, Oceans Learning Partnership Inc.,
developed an experiential learning curriculum.
The second, Coastal Connections Ltd., takes
students out on the bay for on-sea demonstrations and experimentation, enabling them
and the public to explore the world of ocean
science and technology while engaging with
experts and scientists.
Corbett, whose family moved to Holyrood
from Toronto when he was two, attended
Grades Primary to Grade 9 in town, finished his
schooling in Avondale and Corner Brook, and
graduated from Memorial University. His career
in education spanned teaching and working as
a principal, program specialist, and consultant.
In 2009, sensing a new opportunity to positively impact the lives of others, he started working
for the municipality as CAO, initially with a small
crew in a 1,500-square-foot building.
Today Corbett’s staff of nine occupies a
10,000-square-foot facility, along with two tenants, and there’s room for another 12. “This
year’s municipal budget of $2.74 million has
almost doubled since 2009,” he says. Additional
offices with access to boardrooms and presenta-
tion equipment are available to ocean-industry
companies by the day, week, month, or longer.
The offices, ranging from 120 to 144 square
feet and priced at $600 per month, are ideally
suited for companies coming to Holyrood to test
their technologies at the Marine Base.
A $527,000 grant funded by the provincial government’s Department of Innovation,
Business and Rural Development, the Atlantic
Canada Opportunities Agency and the Town of
Holyrood has been supporting the initial development of the OHI over two years. Mayor Gary
Goobie and the town council are supportive of
the OHI, says Corbett, adding that his staff is
focused on informing residents of the growth
in the oceans sector in Holyrood and the possibilities that lie ahead.
Leveraging the OCEANS’14 MTS/IEEE
trade show that’s being held in St. John’s
in mid-September, Corbett and his staff are
inviting exhibitors to take their clients to the
Marine Base for in-water demonstrations. In
March, they met with 64 companies at the
Oceanology International 2014 conference in
London, England. A number of those companies are planning to come to St. John’s, several
of whom are planning live demonstrations at
the town’s Day in the Bay event (additional
demonstrations can be accommodated).
Following the Oceanology conference,
they met with ocean industry stakeholders in
Galway and Dublin in Ireland. “The researchers
were extremely interested in the infrastructure
plans for Holyrood and the experiential learning
programs. There are opportunities in Holyrood
to learn from the best practices of SmartBay
Ireland,” says Corbett. “The potential for collaboration and exchange of ideas across the
Atlantic is phenomenal.” n
