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 up to the intendancy of Jean Talon. This engineer and surveyor became a lord, merchant, explorer, and prosecutor on the Sovereign Council. Jean Bourdon was in all the battles. A new country was to be built. We will not forget to mention that two of his daughters joined the Augustines. Conference offered by La Société d’histoire Sieur de Champlain.
