    Biographical history

    The Burrows family is strongly associated with the work of The United Church of Canada in British Columbia, particularly with coastal marine missions and First United Church (Vancouver). Bob Burrows (1934- ) married Joan Fidler (1936- ) in 1959 at Toronto and moved shortly thereafter to BC. Joan's father and mother were the Rev. Frank Fidler (1907-1995) and Marguerite Fidler (1907-2007), who spent most of their adult lives in Ontario, where Frank Fidler was involved in pastoral ministry and administrative work with the General Council offices of the United Church.
