  • The City and the St. Lawrence – Analysis of Development Issues and Potential
    CHAPTER ONE The Montréal Harbourfront: A History The City and the St. Lawrence – Analysis of Development Issues and Potential Introduction The story of Montréal's old harbour is at the heart of much of Canada's economic, political and social his- tory, and can consequently be considered of national significance. It is a story rooted in its geography, which combines three features highly conducive to the development of a dynamic port. First, the area forms a natural harbour- an essential precondition for the settlement of New France during the 17th century, when rivers were the only important links to the outside world. It is also situated at the confluence of three major waterways offering access to the interior of the North American continent (the 8 St. Lawrence, Ottawa and Richelieu rivers). Finally, the harbour is located at the western boundary of the navigable section of the St. Lawrence. Since navigation was hampered by the Lachine Rapids, it was for a significant time an obligatory stopping point, as well as a hub for the exploration and development of the hinterland. Birthplace of the modern port of Montréal (today North America's largest inland fresh- water port), the old harbourfront is also, more broadly, the cradle of Montréal and its surroundings. Figure 1.1 Plan of the canal proposed by the Sulpicians (not construct- ed), designed to bypass the Lachine Rapids. Plan by Gaspard-Joseph Chaussegros de Léry, 1733.

  • Discovering the Notre-Dame-De-Bon-Secours Chapel, a Place of Worship, Art and History
    1 Discovering the Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel, a place of worship, art and history Stop 1 – Introduction In the early days of the colony, the first pilgrimage destination in Montreal was the cross that Maisonneuve and the first Montrealers raised on the side of Mount Royal on the feast of the Epiphany 1643. 1 At some distance from the settlement, at a time when leaving the enclosure of the fort was risky because of Iroquois raids, the cross met a number of the “criteria” associated with places of pilgrimage. Unfortunately, the colonists didn’t go there very often because of the dangers surrounding travel outside the fort. In the coming hour, we invite you to visit Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel. It will be our pleasure to help you to discover this historic chapel whose influence is closely tied to the charism of Marguerite Bourgeoys. You will find a place containing many attractions. In addition to the richness of its décor, you will be enchanted by the furnishings, paintings, votive offerings in the form of boats recalling its function as a place of pilgrimage, the “miraculous” statue and, of © CPRQ, 2003. course, the museum. To begin the visit, go to the intersection of de la Commune East and Bonsecours streets. Please stand beside the pillar of the wharf of the Old Port of Montreal. The visit begins outside the building with a presentation of the immediate surroundings on de la Commune East, Bonsecours and Saint Paul streets. This part of the visit allows you to admire the exterior architecture of the chapel and the adjacent buildings and to better understand the particular socio-historical context of the construction of this place and the development of the district.
