Th e cou- ples were chosen for a number of reasons, fi rst and foremost in honour of the Burgess family’s local heritage in Minnedosa. Th e Burgesses were one of our community’s pi- oneer families. Th eir arrival in the area dates back to 1880 with Jim’s great grandfather, Sam Burgess and his wife Ann. Sam’s son, Joseph was the fi rst Burgess to have his name associated with the fam- ily business, most recently known as Burgess Qual- ity Foods. Th e business was the only Minnedosa business to remain in the same family for over 120 years being passed down through four generations of Burgesses. In addition to the long standing family and business connection to our community, members of the Burgess family have always been active com- munity members and volunteers in various capaci- ties over many years. In addition to being a former business owner in our community, Jim served six years as Mayor of Minnedosa as well as a number of years as a Town Councillor and School Trustee.

Th e list of support they have provided in our community could fi ll a large book. Th is community-minded family is certainly worthy of recognition as Honourary Parade Mar- shals in the upcoming Fun Fest Parade.
