Burlington Bay

My Canon Power Shot is only 3.3 megapixels but it’s been great for all I need at present.

Last week I spent several hours at LaSalle Park Marina in Burlington (overlooking Burlington Bay towards Hamilton harbour). Boats bob at their moorings near the northern shoreline at what used to be Oaklands Park. Many 'revival preachers' like Gypsy Smith ministered there in the early part of the last century. Now it is comprised of gorgeous luxury homes.

Near the distant shore my mother was baptized in the 1930's, upon her profession of faith in Jesus, along with a number of others from the (then) Freeman Gospel Tabernacle which later became Brant Bible Church. It joined recently with Park Bible Church to form the ‘Compass Point’ congregation.

The old cabins from Oaklands were taken by my grandfather and uncles, by truck, to Fair Havens Bible Conference on the Trent canal system near Beaverton, where they were put to good use for a number of years.
