Two Order of Canada recipients lived in this one small
Community - Nurse Myra Bennett and well-known
fiddle player Rufus Guinchard.
.
Known as Florence Nightingale of the
North, Nurse Bennett was the only health acre
professional along 320 kilometres of rugged
coastline.
Her former home,
Nurse Bennett Heritage
House, has many of the tools used by Nurse
Bennett to deliver 5000 babies and extract 3000
teeth during her career.
The Late Rufus Guinchard played the fiddle
at parties from
Sally's Cove to Flowers Cove. His
traditional Newfoundland music also entertained
audiences in Europe and Japan, but none were
more appreciative then the fans back home in
Newfoundland.
