In 2013, Jean Claude began an association with the Battle Harbour Historic Trust, spending some days there each year painting and supporting their fundraising with donations of paintings. Situated just off the southern coast of Labrador, Battle Harbour was once an important economic centre and also the summer home to many migrant Newfoundland fishermen. The Trust is continuing its efforts to restore original buildings and provide visitors with a high level of accomodation and experience. In 2016 Jean Claude will be in residence from August 7th to 13th.
