Quebec - Quebec's Old City & Petit Champlain With the Chateau Frontenac as a backdrop and the St. Lawrence and Petit Champlain below, there's no better place to be on a sunny day in April or October when thousands of Canada and snow geese wend their way to Baffin Island, using the river to guide their journey. Old Quebec sitting high on the bluff above the Saint Lawrence River, and Quartier Petit-Champlain the lower town, at water's edge, have roots that date to the beginning of the seventeenth century. Due to the fact that the hotel was built in the castellated style, it is not out of place, sitting as it does high on the bluff overlooking the river. www.mestern.net /canada/quebec/drive/index.php

Historical Biographies, Nova Scotia: Samuel de Champlain (1567-1635). A narrative of Champlain's adventures in Acadia is contained in my history of Acadia, in one of its very first chapters, "The Founding of Port Royal." Sufficient at this place to say that Champlain spent his first three winters in New France in Acadia. "Samuel Champlain was born at Brouage, a small seaport town in the old province of Saintonge, southeast of Rochefort and opposite the island of Oléron, about the year 1567."1 Little is known of Champlain's family background; indeed, though he wrote much, little personal information of Champlain's life is known. 2 In July, 1608, however, Champlain was to be back up the St. Lawrence, having seemingly lost his optimism in respect to the possibilities of Acadia, taking with him a number of French colonists. www.blupete.com /Hist/BiosNS/1600-00/Champlain.htm

The UnMuseum - Champ Some historians place the earliest sighting of the creature by a European with Samual de Champlain, after whom the lake is named.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Samuel de Champlain Pierre de Chauvin had proposed to make a permanent settlement at Tadoussac, but Champlain was not in favour of this place, and, having cast anchor at the foot of Cape Diamond, he considered that the point of Quebec would be the most advantageous site for the future colony. Champlain kept a journal of his explorations in the Gulf of Mexico, and after his return to France, in 1601 or 1602, he received a pension and the appointment of geographer to the king. Under the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye Quebec was restored to France, and Champlain again took up his residence in the fort, where he died, after having spent forty years of his life in the heroic endeavour to promote the religious and commercial interests of the land of his fathers in the New World. www.newadvent.org /cathen/03567a.htm   (387 words)

In December, 1951, new official steps were taken towards joint United States-Canadian development of the power resources on the International Section of the River, and, at the same time, Canada indicated that she would go ahead with the seaway on her own, if necessary. www.opg.com /ops/Stations/R.H.Saunders.asp   (387 words)
