trouve son bonheur"

"il est resté quelque chose de la mer"
This book tells the story of the territory it describes, which is part of the traditional unceded lands of the Anishinabeg, from Long-Sault and Pointe des Algonquins on the Ottawa River, from Chute aux Bleuets and Rivière du Diable in Brébeuf, to Manitou Rock on Lac Simon, to Lac Gagnon in Duhamel, to the Méconse house in Messines, to the Weskarinis portage, through the Petite Nation valley, to Petit Lac Nominingue. In these tales of the beginnings of the Anishinabeg world and the ancient landscapes of this place, something of the sea remains…
"
un endroit appelé le premier côté du monde"
This book recounts the travels and legends of this land, “the most beautiful country imaginable.” On June 3, 1613, during a reconnaissance expedition on the Ottawa River, Champlain encountered the Anishinabeg Weskarini encampment at the mouth of the Petite Nation River. Canada geese grazed on the mudflats; their numbers were so great that they could be beaten down with sticks. Shouts of greeting rose from the shore at the sight of the French in their canoe… The canoe that ran aground on Lake Papineau, the legend of the treasure on the Salmon River, and the trading post at Petite-Nation. A 160-page book printed in four-colour process, with a Tango FSC 14 pt paper cover and Euroart text, matte lamination, the book measures 8.5” x 10.5”.
"
Ripon, J’ai la couleur d’une rivière"
This book project for the 150th anniversary of the parish of Ripon tells a story written from a human perspective… with women, children, and priests all present! What we tell you is the life and existence of all those who cleared the land, built it, educated it, baptized and married its children, made it dance and sweat, over the past 150 years. It is our little story, certainly, but a grand one in our eyes and dear to our hearts as people of Ripon.
This book recounts the memories of those who built the Petite-Nation region as a refuge in the land of the Weskarini (or Deer Clan). It traces the course not only of history, but also that of the Rouge River and Lakes Viceroy and Simon, among others. The author, from Lac-Simon, takes this journey through time and space in the company of the Tanascon, Canard Blanc, Lamarche, Latrémouille, Caron, Longpré, and Maillé families, to name just a few of those who contributed to the development of this corner of the country. Along the way, he mentions the serpent of Lake Nominingue and the mother of Katéri Tekakwitha, an Algonquin woman from Petite-Nation. Here, we learn that the Métis were called "half-burnt wood." There, that Hyacinthe Canard Blanc hung his miniature birchbark canoes from the trees to sell them. In short, between the lines, one has the impression of hearing the heartbeat of the inhabitants of the Weskarini country.

The story of a university with big vision telling thirty years of history as faithfully as possible, cannot be done without the participation of those who lived it.

"
Le pays de Canard Blanc"
This book about the Petite-Nation region takes us on a journey, into people's homes, through places and history, into archives and genealogy, and among anecdotes. For example, Lake Simon has its own monster; the Petite-Nation River, which carves its bed into this lake, produces phenomena as powerful as they are mysterious; rock art has inscribed the memory of the hare-man in the stone of Manitou Rock; the Algonquins Simon Kanawato, Wabishib Canard Blanc, and their lineage gave their name to the lake and the island. This work has been hailed as one of the finest books in the Outaouais region. It presents historical content never before recounted. "The Land of Canard Blanc" contributes to the understanding of our shared heritage and takes its place among the essential reference books.
Several books for different publishing houses and authors.
