The RELOCATIONS!

In Placentia, Ruth visited the O'Reilly House Museum while Winston and Jannich went for a walk. It was too hot to leave Winston in the truck.

Here a second re-location process was discovered. Joey Smallwoood decided in 1957 to "urge" people in the out-port coves to "relocate" to "growth centres". If 80 percent agreed, everybody had to move. In this area, Placentia and Arnold's Cove were two of the growth centres.
After this museum tour, Ruth decided that the people in the out-port Coves in Newfoundland have been used to achieve the goals of other people without much consultation.
This re-location process continued until 1977.

We ate lunch at Belle's restaurant which is located in a historic home.
