For our last meeting of the season we are honoured to have Michel Aumand Belisle as our guest speaker.

His topic will be “From Vaudreuil in France to Kinchien on the Ottawa River: the American Journey of Philippe de Rigaud.” This illustrated presentation will trace the career of a young musketeer who was to become the Marquis de Vaudreuil and Governor of new France.

Michel is an author of regional history books and has been curator of several museums including Vaudreuil, the Trestler House and the McCord.

Michel currently gives lectures, writes and does historical research.

This promises to be a presentation of interest to all who live in the region.
