Retrace
this river’s historic path with the exhibition Moving with the River at the
Museum of Civilization in Ottawa from June 21, 2013 to March 23, 2014.
When
one thinks of the settlements along the river from Quebec City to Montreal, to
Brockville, and to Kingston, it is the “Birthplace of the first colonies and
passageway to the Great Lakes and the Canadian West for millions of immigrants,
the St. Lawrence River played a fundamental role in the building and settling
of Canada.
The exhibition retraces the river’s historic
path with the Iroquois' thousand-year presence on the land, Franco-Aboriginal
alliances, growth of a French settlement in the St. Lawrence Valley and multiethnic
European immigration for which Québec served as a gateway”.
An
exhibition developed by Parks Canada and presented in collaboration with the
Canadian Museum of Civilization.
The
audience is open to adults, children, family, youth, young adults, and teens.
