Our heritage as a fishing community is proudly heralded through the efforts of the Old Perlican Heritage Committee. Some years ago local residents donated property in the centre of town for the development of a Memorial Park to honour the many residents who left Old Perlican to serve in both world wars. The War Memorial, surrounded by flags of all provinces and territories of Canada, is the scene of annual Remembrance Day ceremonies.

The adjacent park and boardwalks are a popular tourism attraction. The Beckett Heritage Home, a registered heritage structure, and replica fishing store, located in the town’s centre, are also popular tourism sites.
