History
From Scrapbook vol II Carousel Restoration. 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.
The photograph was removed from the scrapbook titled, "Parker Carousel Volume II- Product Endorsements, Advertisements, Etc" (BV015.41.2). The scrapbook included a wide array of photographs documenting "The Friends of the Carousel" fundraising endeavours as well as a detailed account of the transport, restoration, installation and ground breaking ceremony of the Parker Carousel #119 prior to its opening at the Burnaby Village Museum.
