Duration: 4 minutes, 32 seconds
Dr. France Levasseur-Ouimet highlights early contributions of Francophones in Alberta. Eighteenth-century coureurs des bois and voyageurs explored the region by canoe and portage. The Hudson's Bay Company and The North West Company trading forts employed many Francophones.
