Pierre Elliot Trudeau Visit to Nova Scotia 1978
Never Before Released!
The photos were a gift from Louise Soucy, a well-known reporter, radio host and restauranteur (Chez LaVigne, among others) in Nova Scotia. Before moving away from the country for her retirement in the early 2000's, she handed me this treasure and said, "keep it well".
Soucy was a reporter for Radio-Canada at the time of the event, the recreation of the arrival of Champlain at Port-Royal, circa 1978. These candid photos show a rare glimpse of former Canadian Prime Minister and Icon of all things Canadiana.... Pierre Elliot Trudeau, accompanied by two very young sons.
After nearly a decade of hanging onto these, I have decided to post them online.
Merci beaucoup Louise, tu me manque profondement.....
