Saint Lawrence River

Montreal's Main Street The St. Lawrence boulevard is one of the most known and talked about road in Canada. In the collective imagination, it has long been the street that separates Montreal in half. Which is quite understandable as the St. Lawrence boulevard is the backbone of the great French-speaking city. A city born from its river, founded downstream of the mighty Lachine rapids, which form a natural barrier for ocean-going ships, Montreal turns its back on its majestic stream. But it is as

He formed strong alliances some tribes such as Wendat, Algonquin and Montagnais. These tribes live around Saint Lawrence River. The tribes demanded that Champlain must lead them in war against the Iroquois tribe. The Iroquois inhabited the south area of Richelieu River. The Iroquois had an alliance with England and Dutch, and thus had superior troops. They had an interest on the fur trade that put the two colonies in friction over the

The 16th century is often referred to as “The Rise of The West” by modern day historians due to the colonization and Imperial expansion of the Western world by European powers. Expeditions appointed by European monarchs to discover routes to the abundant resources in China and the Indies brought some of the first European explorers to the shores of present day Canada. French explorer Jacques Cartier was delegated the task of finding a western passage to the East and when he crossed the Atlantic and

City was one of only two cities in North America that is still surrounded by fortifications, which meet at the strategically located military base. Also the idea that this fortress had at one point in time allowed Canada to control the St. Lawrence River, a river which I

I was captivated by the challenge of learning to navigate the St Lawrence River within a ten-mile radius from Comfort Island. Geologists say that the 1000 Islands were formed from an ancient mountain range that has been whittled down to their present size over millions of years. I know of no island of the eighteen hundred in this chain that has an elevation of more than a hundred feet or so, and there hundreds and perhaps thousands of would-be islands that never were prominent enough to rise above

It is 1550, and there is a bunch of Spanish colonists in New Spain. Spanish wanted workers so, they made American Indians, slaves to help on their land. By 1607 colonists were heading to Virginia to go to Jamestown. Near a river they called, James River, they built a settlement and they called it, Jamestown. There were many people that took a big role back then. People that helped make settlements, people that helped stand up for the slaves, people that helped colonists. As a result

At the point in which the St. Lawrence and St. Charles rivers meet, lies one of the oldest, yet most beautiful city in North America, Québec City. The name Québec derived from the Algonquin word, Kébec, meaning where the river meets. The city's long history accounts for a wide variety of European architecture, including the castles, stone buildings, and street lined boutiques including restaurants. Québec City has been a great part of North America's history in the past, continues to be a city attracting

It isn’t until the middle of the excerpt from Donald Creighton’s book “The Empire of the St. Lawrence” when the river “which led from the eastern shore into the heart of the continent” (1), “possessed a geographical monopoly” (2), and “offered a pathway to the central mysteries” (5) is revealed to be the St. Lawrence. Throughout the paragraph, it is serves as a symbolic element of history, an important factor in the development of Canadian identity and the process in achieving the ultimate “dream

is to dump the eight billion liters of raw sewage into the St Lawrence River [1]. The procedure is going against the fisheries act, it will have negative consequences for communities downstream, and it will also damage the river’s ecosystem. In brief that scheme has several negative impacts on the river’s ecosystem and the city should invest in alternative procedures. The procedure of dumping mass amounts of wastewater into the river is going against the fisheries act if not given authorization

This essay will explain why Samuel de Champlain was a better leader than Jacques Cartier. “Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other,” said U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain were two French explorers who were the best of the best at what they did. Both men tried to tame the wild snowy beast that we now know as Canada. Both men were greatly respected explorers and leaders: one came to Canada tasked with finding routes through Canada to Asia, and
