The Shag Harbour Incident Society is a proudly independent organization [embodying] individuals who believe that [Shag Harbour's] local history, chiefly the 1967 UFO [unidentified flying object] sighting, should be cherished and made available to the general public. The organization was formed in the fall of 2006 with the goal of acquiring a permanent location to display the accumulating information collected on the mysterious UFO that landed in the harbour [in 1967]. 3, record 1, English, - Shag%20Harbour%20Incident%20Society

The groups of animals and plant life displayed in a diorama are often referred to as habitat groups. The idea for a display of a habitat group often begins with a curator in a department of a natural history museum. The museum's mammalogist, for example, may decide to display a particular mammal in its natural habitat and attempt to show as much as possible about the animal and its environment. 1, record 2, English, - habitat%20group
