      Mark your calendars.
      On Saturday, October 20th, the Point St. Charles Historical Society (SHPSC) will be offering a bilingual bus tour from Point St. Charles to both St. Columban and St. Eustache.
      The planning for this event is being finalized, but this tour will certainly include a visit to the Cemetery and the Church etc., in St. Columban - where both Claude Bourguignon & I will discuss the Irish of St. Columban and our efforts to build a monument to these early settlers. It will also include a lunch at the local St. Columban restaurant which was once one of the original St. Columban schools..
            The total costs including transportation; the meal; all taxes; tips etc. will be
$ 59.00 per person. The bus will be leaving from 2356 Centre St. (near the Charlevoix Metro) in the Point, at 9am and will likely return around 4 or 5 pm.
     There will also be a visit to the Church at St. Eustache - which was the site of the last big battle between the Patriotes of Lower Canada and the British forces.
     Jeff Legault is helping us set up the reservation forms etc., and we should be able to provide you with all the details within the next few days.

Just a reminder that on Saturday, October 20th, the Point St. Charles History Society (SHPSC) has scheduled a bus tour to St. Columban & St. Eustache. This tour leaves the Point at 9am and should return around 4 or 5 pm. The reservation fee includes a meal and all taxes etc. In St. Columban, this bilingual tour includes a visit to the Church & Cemetery ? a community that was almost 100% Irish in the 1800?s. In St. Eustache, there is also a visit to a Church where the last big battle between the Patriotes of Lower Canada and the British troops took place. It should be fun ? but you must reserve. For additional information and to reserve for this tour, please visit
