Heritage Value
The Windsor Neighbourhood comprises a number of different districts with different characteristics. To the north, stretching to the border of the Deer Lake Park, is the primarily residential area that was developed after the building boom of the 1950s and now consists of a mix of single-family and multi-family housing. To the south, from Kingsway to the Skytrain line, an industrial area was maintained along with a significant commercial corridor along Kingsway. In recent years, the growth and development of this area has been guided by the Royal Oak Community Plan adopted by Council in 1999.

Description
A large box containing a audio-amp, a wooden triangular prism with a decorative round speaker, and six smaller rectangular boxes. All are made of a light wood, and have different functions.
Object History
This audio-amplifier set was used by Mr. Edward A. Fountain, who was appointed as Civil Defense Coordinator on May 5th, 1952. He also built the wooden boxes which contain each part of the set. The Burnaby Civil Defense Department was established in order to disseminate information guiding the public on how to react in response to the impending threat of nuclear war and Russian bombers. In the early 1950’s, this education centered primarily on evacuation, as members of the public were expected to prepare and essentially fend for themselves in the event of a nuclear attack. These pieces of audio technology are believed to have been used at Civil Defense rallies in Burnaby, which Edward Fountain would have been involved in as the department director. According to Burnaby City Council meeting records, music and defense operation demonstrations were commonplace at such rallies, and are examples of what this set was used for.

Description
Paper listing several radio signals used by the Civil Defense department. Paper is creased and yellowing especially around edges and folds.
Object History
This “Ten – Signals” paper was donated alongside the audio-amplification set, belonging to Mr. Edward Fountain. The signals represented on the paper were used in training volunteers in the Burnaby Civil Defence Department, of which Mr. Fountain was named Director/ Coordinator in 1952. The Burnaby Civil Defense Department was established in order to disseminate information guiding the public on how to react in response to the impending threat of nuclear war and Russian bombers. In the early 1950’s, this education centered primarily on evacuation, as members of the public were expected to prepare and essentially fend for themselves in the event of a nuclear attack. Training took place throughout the City of Burnaby and in the surrounding regions, as the Civil Defence departments of several municipalities (namely the City of Vancouver and the City of New Westminster) partnered together in evacuation and recovery training, where the use of instructional training papers such as this would come into play.

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.

Heritage Value
The street we know as Kingsway is one of the legacies of the Royal Engineers' military defences for New Westminster. The fear of an American attack prompted the construction of the False Creek trail - later known as Vancouver Road and now Kingsway - in 1860 to connect the capital city to the ice-free salt water harbour at English Bay.
