He was president of the Delta Chamber of Commerce and the Ladner Rotary Club, and was Treasurer of the Delta Agricultural Society. He ran for alderman in December, 1971, as part of Dugald Morrison's "Delta Team", and subsequently held the position of alderman until 1979, when he was elected mayor. Mr. Burnett remained Mayor until 1987, when he retired. Mr. Burnett and his wife, Betty, had five children.

    Scope and content

    The fonds consists of one series of material created by Ernest Burnett in his capacity as mayor: in particular, as a member of the Delta Centennial Committee, which held its meetings in Council chambers. Mr. Burnett's copies of the Committee minutes constitute one series of the fonds. A second series of material includes material Mr. Burnett created as treasurer of the Delta Agricultural Society. This series includes financial statements (1950-1954), and racing programs for Paterson Park (1962-1968). The final series in this fonds consists of one file containing a program for the "Freedom Ceremony" celebrating Delta's 90th Anniversary (1969), and a promotional newspaper entitled "Delta Election '71 News". which promotes the "Delta Team" of municipal candidates including incumbent Mayor Dugald Morrison, Alderman Doug Watkins, Ernie Burnett, and Harold Savage.
