Physical Description: 1 photograph : col ; copy print ; 10.5 x 10 cm

Material Details: Printed label in scrapbook beneath photograph read: "SWEND[sic] ROBINSON (M.P.)".

Scope and Content: Svend Robinson Burnaby MP on the carousel. He is riding a white horse that is holding its head up high and wearing a brown bridle.

History: From Scrapbook vol III The Story in Photographs Continues. In 1989, Ms. Venus Solano and Mr. Doug McCalum and other local people came together to "Save the Carousel" and formed the "Friends of the Vancouver Carousel Society". In May 1989, Burnaby Village Museum agreed to provide a home for the carousel and the "Friends", led by President Don Wrigley, set about raising the $350,000 to purchase the machine. Keith Jamieson, a carousel expert, was brought in to coordinate the rebuilding project. With a lot of hard work, the help of the Government of British Columbia and the support of the Municipality of Burnaby, the carousel was purchased. Funds were also raised to pay for the restoration, and Burnaby agreed to build a new pavilion for it as a Centennial project.
