History
2
In winter, an ice bridge departed this shore toward Montmorency or Quebec City, and among the volunteers who traced and maintained it, Barthélemy Noël and his family did so for half a century. Blais grocers came here to cut blocks of ice, store them in their large coolers behind their shops, and deliver them to villagers and vacationers. On the shore in front of the Blais barn in 1953, a child stood facing the camera without knowing that he would one day become the first Canadian astronaut to go into space: Marc Garneau.
