In today’s instalment of our 75x75 series, we speak to Walwyn Blackmore, the first elected mayor of Grand Falls-Windsor after the towns amalgamated. In this video, he reflects on growing up in Bell Island around the time of Newfoundland’s confederation and the impact it had on people’s livelihoods. Through personal stories, Walwyn offers insight into the economic and social shifts that shaped communities across the province during this pivotal moment in Newfoundland’s history.
