The Town of Paradise shares the sad news that former Councillor Vince Burton has passed away after a brief but hard-fought battle with cancer. We offer our sincere condolences to his wife Pat, children, grandchildren, and their families.
Hailing from Shea Heights, Vince moved to Paradise almost 50 years ago, and together with his wife Pat, proudly made the Town their home raising their family here. He had a distinguished career as labour leader with the Carpenters and Millwright Union. Always active in the community, throughout his lifetime Vince volunteered for numerous organizations and community groups, giving generously of his time to help however he could.
Vince served two terms on Paradise Town Council, first being elected in 2009 and re-elected in 2013. He served on several Committees of Council and was a strong advocate for the Paradise Double Ice Complex.
To honour Vince, flags at Paradise Town Hall will be lowered to half-mast.
