Lester Burry Park
Located on the River Front area along North West River, the Trapper's Monument and Statue represents a long term commitment to establish a memorial to the trappers of the region, whose lifestyle survived for over two hundred years -- from 1725 to 1950. For generations, trapping was a main income and a way of life for many people and the Trapper's Monument represents a common history for all Labradorians.
This heritage area is where the trappers actually began their long journeys into the country, leaving wives and children for months on end. At the base of the monument the names of trappers in the area are recorded.
