As MHA for the Baie Verte District, I would like to congratulate the town of Burlington and the estensive work by the Burlington CAP Site in putting together this wonderful piece of history.
Burlington has a very rich history dating back to the 1800s with the first known inhabitants of White and Mills families. Industry in Burlington in early years revolved around the fishery and building of schooners. Later, the mining and the trucking industry offered employment for residents. With over 100 years of inhabitants and industry, comes a great deal of history.
Then we have our fine local talent and now celebrities, Shaun Madjumber and Rex Goudie. These fine individuals have helped put Burlington on the map for the rest of Canada.
As our population ages, it is important that the history of our communities is documented. I commend you on taking the time to prepare this piece of literature for the reading pleasure of those young and old.
