Majumder Manor
What started out as a simple story of me going back to build a house in my hometown, has evolved through a few phases…from myself and David Suzuki building an off the grid, “Green” house, to me putting a cute B&B for people to rent. But after meeting with some folks from Newfoundland Tourism, the town of Burlington, and a few other geniuses, I have decided I want to build a 4-5 room, modern, upscale, fully sustainable, boutique Eco-luxe Inn with the hopes that it will draw adventurous travelers to my hometown so that they can experience what I have been bragging about for years; That rural Newfoundland is one of the most amazing places on earth!
The construction will be televised as a 12 part, nationally broadcast, documentary series on the W Network called Majumder Manor. Check out the Facebook page for udpates and more info!
Burlington Community Business Initiative
The BCBI is a not for profit fund that will eventually provide business support to entrepreneurs in the Burlington-Smith’s Harbour-Middle Arm area who are contributing to a new, significant tourism destination on the Baie Verte Peninsula called the "Greenwood Manor" (Majumder Manor on the W Television Network) and "Burlington’s Kitchen."
"Greenwood Manor" is a five room eco-luxe lodge being built by Gemini Award winning actor Shaun Majumder and ACRE architects in the fall and winter of 2011/20112 to introduce luxury accommodations and haute cuisine to beautiful Green Bay.
This project will compliment the existing attractions of the Fleur-de-Lys Dorset Quarry, King’s Point Pottery and the soon to be established Whale Pavilion Tour. It will encourage tourists to turn off onto route 410 and represents a significant tourism development in Central Newfoundland.
The BCBI eventually could aid entrepreneurs in these ways:
- Business plan development ...assistance to create a concise BCBI application and guidance in applying to existing government programs.
- Training: workshops for small businesses.
- MICRO Loans: loans at a preferred interest rate.
The BCBI already has applications from people who want to establish quad/snowmobile safaris and kayak tours of Green Bay. Other potential initiatives could center around berry picking, boat building, fresh bread baking, scuba-diving, hunting, fishing and hiking.
Like many rural places in Newfoundland, residents typically must travel to other provinces for months at a time to work at seasonal jobs. The BCBI hopes to reverse this trend and give residents a viable employment alternative close to home.
