Description: Green classic Wilson brand pram. There are four narrow wheels, a low-set handle bar and a moveable top canopy and cover with a patterned interior trim. The interior of the pram is white, as is the handlebar, brake handle and wheel covers. On the front end, there is a logo with the brand "Wilson" written in silver cursive, a narrow British flag and a blue tag indicating "Made in England". On either side of the pram, there is a painted pink rose. The knobs on either side of the canopy are also made to look like silver roses, with a yellow and green "W" symbol in their centre.

Object History: This pram belonged to George and Elaine (nee Blackstock) Burnett who lived in Burnaby on Elgin Avenue. The couple had four children, but the exact timeline of when this pram was used in unknown. The pram was made in England by the company Silver Cross, which was founded by William Wilson in 1877. It is the founder's surname from which the pram derives its name, which is found on the end of the carriage. George Burnett was employed as the foreman plumber at Oakalla Prison in Burnaby for 30 years. He was also the President of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 83 in Burnaby. Elaine's family farmed on land in the Deer Lake Area. George and Elaine had four children: John, Derek, Louise, and Lori.

Scope and Content: Fonds consists of 23 short film segments on 6 DVDs. The films were originally filmed in colour using an 8mm film camera, they have no sound. The films provide insight into the McLean family in Burnaby, their daily activities, celebrations and travels during the 1960s.

History: George Henry Foster McLean was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, in 1925 and lived with his family at their home located at the corner of Nelson and Burrard Streets in Vancouver. In 1942, at the age of 16, George enlisted with the Royal Navy at the HMCS Discovery located off Stanley Park. By the end of the war, he had been awarded numerous medals and awards, including the Italian Star, North African Star and the France/Germany Star and Malta Star. After the war, George returned to Canada, settling in Burnaby with his wife Edna. Together, the couple raised five children while George maintained a life of public service, becoming the Director of the Junior Chamber of Commerce in 1946, continuing his involvement until 1957. Following this, he was elected to Burnaby Municipal Council, serving as an alderman for 18 years, as Burnaby Parks Commissioner for 14 years, and as Burnaby Planning Commissioner for eight years. He also served on several civic committees including the Lower Mainland Planning Board, the Greater Vancouver Regional District Planning Committee, and the Greater Vancouver Regional District Water and Sewer Board. In his role as parks commissioner, he fostered the expansion of the Burnaby Parks system as well as the Burnaby Parkland Acquisition Program. George also found time for coaching sports such as minor hockey and softball and was an active member in community organizations such as the Royal Canadian Legion, the Rotary Club, and the Burnaby Hospital Society. In 1987, George retired from municipal politics and was honoured in 1989 by the Burnaby Municipal Council, when he was bestowed the title of Freeman for the Municipality. George continued his commitment to public service and became an active participant in the Memory Project, sponsored by Veteran Affairs of Canada, to help bring history home to schoolchildren, sharing his wartime experiences with younger generations. He also participated in a project entitled From the Heart: The Freeman Legacy, which was a collaboration between the City of Burnaby and Simon Fraser University. A feature film was produced as one element of the larger multimedia project and was broadcast nationally in 2007. In 2010, the Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission extended permanent recognition to Freeman George H.F. McLean by changing the name of Inman Green Park to George McLean Park in his honour. In his private life, George took pride in spending time with his family and was a successful businessman. George was also an active member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 83, The Burnaby Kingsway Rotary Club, and the Burnaby Hospital Society, and enjoyed working in his organic garden in his free time. George H.F. McLean died on May 7, 2015.
