I am a former resident of Grand Bruit and love to read any story that was written about it

Resettlement will always be compelling or at least until those who resettled pass away. But can it be much different then moving from Ireland to Newfoundland or Pakistan to Toronto? For the parents they see it as something they are doing for their children; for the parents it is with a very heavy heart that they leave home. I fancy the very fabric of Canada is that of a people who have "resettled" we should not be surprised that this topic has been so well received outside of Newfoundland.
