Episode 7
Gatineau: a river highway for trade?
Guests: Michel Riberdy, Roger Blanchette, Raymond Ouimet
Learn how the wood and fur industries were important components in the creation of the region, thanks in particular to the Ottawa River in Gatineau. Moreover, in this episode, we learn how the production of matches (and matchstick houses) began.
This project is made possible thanks to the financial contribution of the ministère du Tourisme du Québec.
