Celebrating 60 Years!
Mayor Glenn Littlejohn
Welcome to Bay Roberts
Message from Mayor Glenn Littlejohn
Happy 60th Birthday Bay Roberts! .It is my pleasure to introduce to you the Bay Roberts Tourism and Leisure Guide 2011. The Guide provides not only the tourist to our community, but to our residents, a one stop shop for everything and anything that is happening in Bay Roberts this summer. The many programs, events, services and organizations that make our community one of the fastest growing communities in Newfoundland and Labrador are represented within the Guide.
On February 24th, 1951, the town, which is an amalgamation of six smaller communities: Bay Roberts East, Bay Roberts, Coley’s Point, Shearstown, Butlerville, and Country Road, officially became an incorporated municipality. We are celebrating this achievement with various community activities. We hope that you will volunteer or participate in many of these events.
Bay Roberts is an inviting place to live or to visit. The town's growing residential areas show a pride of ownership which contribute to overall impression of peacefulness and beauty. Facilities, programs and events have been developed for all ages. The Bay Arena hosts sporting events, trade shows, entertainment, and other all season events. Citizens of the town take advantage of a seasonal indoor swimming pool, six playgrounds, many walking trails, and recreation fields with outdoor lighting, a soccer pitch, a walking track, basketball courts, and tennis courts.. .

Work has started on the installation of the new water and sewer service going along the Conception Bay Highway. This will cause delays and create dusty conditions for much of this summer and fall. Please take alternate routes when possible, showing patience, being courteous and working with the construction company to help them complete their work. We will, for a period of time, be down to two lane traffic so, drive slowly and keep an eye out for pedestrians and workers. If you have family/friends coming home this summer to share in our festivals, this Guide is a souvenir to treasure for years to come. Whether you want a Sunday church service, a dip in our indoor swimming pool or ‘A Time in Pigeon Inlet’, it’s all within these pages. We proudly say “we are not your typical small town” and this Guide tells you why.

A cable also connected the Canadian Government with the Canadian Command in Europe.

lasting achievement.
The Town of Bay Roberts has matured from its humble beginning as a fishing settlement to one of the most prosperous towns in the province. While the town flourished as a commercial centre during the early part of the 1900s, it was after incorporation in 1951, that it firmly established itself as a major service hub for the Avalon Peninsula. Robert J. Mercer was the town’s first mayor in1951 and Fred Winsor became deputy mayor. Others elected included: Eric Dawe of Avalon Coal Salt & Oil Ltd; Alton Churchill of Churchill’s Building Supplies; John North, an early volunteer fireman with the town and later owner of a popular outdoor skating rink on Central Street; Victor Sparkes, Principal of St. Mark’s School; Eric Marshall (Marshall’s Hardware and later Marshall’s Restaurant); Magistrate William E. Mercer, and Ray Cave, Cave’s Barber Shop.
By the early 1960's, Bay Roberts had experienced a diversification in its economy with the establishment of dozens of successful, commercial establishments, thus allowing the town to free itself, somewhat, from dependency on the uncertain fishing industry. In 1965, after agreement though a circulated petition, the areas of Bay Roberts East, Coley’s Point, Country Road, and Shearstown became part of the town; and finally, in 1990, the final parts of Butlerville and Birch Hills joined. The town is an early example in the province of a number of smaller communities joining together to work successfully for the good of all.
Eric Dawe of Avalon Coal Salt & Oil Ltd is only surviving member of the original town council and can be affectionately referred to by residents as the Only Living Father of the town’s incorporation. He was Special Patron of the town’s Winter Carnival. [Based on the article “The Birth of Our Town” by Mike Flynn in the Summer 2011, Klondyke Gazette. ]
