HERITAGE PLOUGH RESTORATION

Master Carpenter John Burton of Balfour sizes up the correct wood for the
Doukhobor Discovery Heritage Plough Restoration project. This archival
plough dates back to the Doukhobor settlement in Assiniboia Territory in
1900 when the women pulled the plough to break sod for gardens. This
restoration is funded through the Canadian Department of Heritage, one of
seven grants given out across Canada in 2009. Paul Nedelec and the local
carpenters’ union is providing volunteer labour and transportation. Mr.
Burton and his wood working skills are well known among those who require
specialty repairs and construction. This plough will be presented at the
Doukhobor Discovery season opening on April 25th.
