Physical Description: 1 video recording (mp4) (9 min., 26 sec.) : digital, 25 fps, col., sd., stereo

Scope and Content: The film tells the story of Janice Bobic’s parents, John and Frances Wuzinski, including the couple’s move from Manitoba to Burnaby in 1944, where they purchased an acre of land on the corner of Hastings Street and Cliff Avenue. They grew berries, fruit and vegetables for home and for sale, and raised bees. People came from miles around to purchase strawberries, blueberries, tomatoes and honey. The film includes Janice’s memories of growing up in the family garden, along with her sister Mary Louise.Janice describes her decision to continue working the family property, and her sense of connection with her parents and the land.

History: Janice Bobic is the daughter of John and Frances Wuzinski, longtime Burnaby residents who moved from Manitoba to Burnaby in 1944. In 1962 the Wuzinski property was expropriated by the Municipality of Burnaby, and the family purchased another property nearby. They started a new garden, brought the bees, and transplanted several trees to the new property. John passed away in 1998, and Frances in 2000.

Scope and Content: Photograph of various flower displays with signs that indicate the prize they earned at the 14th Annual Central Park Agricultural Association and Farmers's Institute Exhibition.

This is most likely at the 14th Annual Exhibition of the Central Park Agricultural Association and Farmers' Institute that took place from the 17th to 19th of September, 1914. An earlier catalogue record from 1988 notes that the pictures hanging from the backwall are probably children's school work from Kingsway West School. It also adds the agricultural fair was held between 1902 to 1921 in the Central Park Agricultural Hall built in 1902 in Central Park on Kingsway and the B.C.E.R. tracks.
