My late father was Wayne “Moose” Winters and his parents were Susan Winters (née Edmunds) and James “Bunny” Winters, from Makkovik by way of Kessessasskiou Street in Happy Valley. My mother is Yvonne Winters (née Crawley) from St. Mary’s Bay, Newfoundland, who spent her entire teaching career in the Big Land, starting in Nain and ending thirty years later in Goose Bay. I have previously lived in Halifax and Montreal, but I have called Toronto home for the better part of the last ten years.
