What Do You Need A License For A Rowing Boat



little waves in Lake St. Louis


Postcard published by the photographer Carpenter, circa 1960.

In 1966, Lake St. Louis was the scene of two major sports. First marathon swim team in July, then September 3, a test of boats reserved for participants of the traditional International Classic played between La Tuque and Trois-Rivieres.

Here are excerpts from the journal Saguenay Entertainment September issue of 1966, dedicated to racing canoes and sponsors latuquois.

Another periodical gives her "a" in La Tuque.

The monthly Recreation More shall, on the cover of an issue of 1976, a photo of a women's hockey team wearing the colors of La Tuque.

Françoise Bordeleau traced this photo, published on page 44 of the album L'Echo de La Tuque, "Projection '86," and I pointed out that the crest of the vests worn by six young girls , whose average age was around 16 and 17, was also on the team uniform Men at some time.

Angers Donald has done the research and provided details of these athletes. From left to right, back (in parentheses, the name of husband): Eliane Rose (Rose) Jean (Emile Fontaine), Evelyne Forest (Oscar Fontaine), Herve Riberdy, coach, Fabiola Jean (Thomas Lavoie), Eleanor Perron, died of exhaustion, it seems, but one can think of tuberculosis in early June 1916, buried on the 4th. In front: Mary-Anne Descôteaux (Adelard Tremblay) and Daisy Adams (Philippe Bouchard).

FOLLOWED, AND ADDITIONS APARTS

Champagnat

Following publication my page on Marist schools, Doris Long, a retired teacher latuquoise, sent me an email to my attention a mistake in my comments. I thank him. Here is his response.

"Mr. Smith, here for complete information about your school Champagnat.

She never took the name of Felix Leclerc. They spoke instead of the multi-Félix Leclerc two flags: the flag and the flag Central Champagnat. That name, that of Felix Leclerc, will not be retained. Officially, today, the name is High School Champagnat. "

As for ACER ACERPORI , the Canadian Cadet, it translates to "So is the sap, as is maple.
