2021 marks the centenary of Northern Ireland. Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council developed a programme of events and initiatives to mark this historic occasion.
The programme aims to:
-
Promote the Borough as an attractive place to visit, invest and do business;
-
Celebrate our people, places and products by showcasing the rich sporting, cultural, entrepreneurial and academic talent;
-
Build a shared understanding of our collective history in a way that can build good relations and reconciliation by facilitating opportunities that both reflect on our past as well as build for our future; and
-
Recognise and build awareness of this significant anniversary, locally, nationally and internationally, supporting expression of the diverse identities and culture that exist within the Borough.
