Battle of the Chateauguay - War of 1812 - Quebec - Canada
The Battle of the Chateauguay was an engagement of the War of 1812. On 26 October 1813, a British force consisting of 1,630 regulars, volunteers, militia and Native Americans from Lower Canada, commanded by Charles de Salaberry, repelled an American force of about 2,600 regulars which was attempting to invade Lower Canada and ultimately attack Montreal.
The Battle of the Chateauguay was one of the two battles (the other being the Battle of Crysler's Farm) which caused the Americans to abandon the Saint Lawrence Campaign, their major strategic effort in the autumn of 1813.
La bataille de la Châteauguay est une bataille militaire qui se déroula le 26 octobre 1813 durant la Guerre de 1812 entre la colonie britannique qui allait devenir le Canada et les États-Unis.

A Dream Fulfilled - Woodside National Historic Site (Parks Canada)
When money talks, people listen.
In this visitor centre video we literally put words into William Lyon Mackenzie King's mouth, as we brought the story of his childhood home, Woodside, to life. In this entertaining, fun-filled 'dramedy', an animated King's face, on an actual Canadian fifty-dollar bill, provides a voice to Canada's most celebrated Prime Minister. The talking bill is found in a Kitchener park, by an average Canadian, who is then instructed by King to take him to his childhood home. At Woodside, he is given a gift like no other, a private tour by King himself.

Fort Chambly National Historic Site - A Fort at the Foot of the Rapids
Fort Chambly is located at the edge of the Richelieu River, at the foot of the Chambly rapids. Built in 1711, this imposing stone fortification protected New France from a potential British invasion.
During the War of 1812, the British Army built an important military complex on the site. The fort has resisted the upheavals of history and remains a valued reminder of the French presence in North America.
Restored by Parks Canada, Fort Chambly now houses exhibitions showcasing key moments in the history of New France.

Coteau-du-Lac National Historic Site - Where History Comes to Life
The Coteau-du-Lac National Historic Site is located 40 km southwest of Montréal on the shores of the St. Lawrence River, and offers a window on a particularly rich history going back several millennia in time.
Owing to its strategic position on the River, the main route into inland North America, this site has played a major role in the development of river transportation in Canada. At first a portage for nomadic Aboriginal peoples, Coteau-du-Lac later became a genuine bypass for travellers from Great Britain and France.
By the late 18th century, a lock canal is constructed on this location. It was the first work of its kind in North America and was to serve as a forerunner of the modern-day St. Lawrence Seaway.

Completing The Circle - L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site (Parks Canada)
One of the most significant events in human migration history occurred by accident when the Vikings took a wrong turn and landed on the northern tip of Newfoundland.
In Completing the Circle we used an engaging host to debunk the many myths associated with Vikings and tell the epic journey of how Viking explorers came to L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland on a quest for resources. Reenacting the Vikings' dramatic encounter with local First Nations inhabitants, viewers are treated to a significant event in history—the first full-circle reunion of two different migrating branches of humans who had both left Africa 100,000 years ago! Reenactments, and CGI, were also used to tell another dramatic journey filled with suspense; that of the search for the Viking village and its ensuing archeological dig.

Canada 1812 Forged in Fire - Charles de Salaberry (2/6)
Charles-Michel d'Irumberry de Salaberry was born in Beauport, Quebec to a family with a long history as military officers -- first for the French, then for the British.
The Duke of Kent, Prince Edward Augustus, became a friend of the Salaberry's and assisted the young Charles in receiving an Ensign's commission in the British Army at the age of 16. Charles had already served two years as a gentleman volunteer prior to being commissioned.
He served, and saw action in, the West Indies and the Netherlands before returning to Lower Canada in 1810, as an aide-de-camp to Major General Francis de Rottenburg. Alongside Rottenburg, he'd been trained extensively in light infantry, a relatively new -- or ancient, depending on how you look at it -- battle tactic that differed from the common fighting stance of the day -- long lines of soldiers firing muskets upon command. Light infantry went in advance of the main battle, in smaller groups, firing independently and often navigating more difficult terrain. -
