SPECIAL EDITION SIGNED COPIES
MEMORIES OF THE BEACH STRIP
by Gary Evans
It was a place of many things.
It was a great place to spend a holiday; a fascinating place to live; and a one of a kind place to have fun.
It was a special place to watch the ships sail into the harbour, and one of the best places anywhere
to hear the music of some of the world’s best entertainers.
It was a place to fish and to hunt, and a place to play. But foremost, it was a beach.
A special beach, just minutes from downtown Hamilton and a stone’s throw from the heart of Burlington, it was Burlington Beach to some, Hamilton Beach for others, and yet was also known as the Beach Strip or the Sand Strip.

BRANT INN MEMORIES
by Stewart Brown
In the 1930s, the little town of Burlington, Ontario, was noted, primarily in the farming community, as a market gardening area. During this period in time, Canada was in the midst of a world-wide depression. It was an unlikely place and an unlikely time for anyone to consider starting a business, particularly a venture into show business.
An impresario named John Murray Anderson saw the potential and turned a site on the shore of Lake Ontario into a nightclub that grew to be internationally renowned. The history of the Brant Inn was recognized within the Burlington Historical Society as a great story that should be fully told and preserved.
