Harold Norman George Small[1] (February 13, 1936 – May 17, 2021) was a Newfoundlander and Canadian politician. He served as the member of the Newfoundland House of Assembly (MHA) for Baie Verte-White Bay from 1991 to 1993.
Small was born in the fishing village of Wild Cove as the son of George and Bessie Small. He initially worked at the Advocate Mines in Baie Verte. Following the death of his first wife and one of his sons, he returned to Wild Cove with his brothers in 1972 to work as a fisherman and sealer so that he could "be [his] own boss."[2]
Small was appointed to the Fisheries Loan Board in 1978 by provincial Minister of Fisheries Walter C. Carter as its representative in the "North East Coast."[3][4] He was one of the founding members of the Canadian Sealers' Association, a cooperative which was established in 1982 in response to the anti-seal hunt protests led by Greenpeace.[5][6] He was also a director of the Newfoundland and Labrador Rural Development Association in 1983.[7]
