Conference - Jean Bourdon, First Engineer and Surveyor of New France
It was Champlain who welcomed Jean Bourdon to Quebec, who contributed his diverse talents to the development of the colony until the intendancy of Jean Talon. This engineer and surveyor became a lord, merchant, explorer, and prosecutor in the Sovereign Council. Jean Bourdon was involved in all the struggles. A new country was to be built. We will not forget to mention that two of his daughters entered the Augustines. Conference offered by La Société d’histoire Sieur de Champlain.
