Jan 2, 2011 Land and Sea Remembered Part Two

When Dave Quinton witnessed the birth of Land and Sea back in '64, you couldn't drive across Newfoundland island. The Trans Canada highway wasn't complete.

Cod was still salted. Islands were still settled. The accordion was still king.

Over the course of his 26 years with the show, Dave Quinton documented history in the making. The decline of the cod fishery, the founding of the Fishermen Food and Allied Workers Union, the introduction of Alberta buffalo to this province...all kinds of things that made for meaningful, colorful programs...and lasting memories.

More of the memories Dave shares, in part two of Land and Sea Remembered.

Welcome to Land and Sea

For more than thirty years Land and Sea has brought you stories from people who live off the land and the sea. We cover issues that affect people in rural communities which ultimately affect those in cities as well.

We bring you stories from those who celebrate life living close to nature, who promote and protect their culture and traditional ways of doing things. There are stories of success and sometime failures that portray the unique way Atlantic Canadians deal with the challenges and pleasures of living on the east coast.

Join us Sundays at 12 noon on CBC Television.
