About the Exhibit

The “In Search of Yesterday” heritage exhibit, an intergenerational community initiative, marked the 75th anniversary of Baie-Comeau and commemorates the heritage and culture of the town’s English-speaking community.

The exhibition was created by community members, teachers, volunteers and students, who recorded, documented and presented the history and culture of the English-speaking population of Baie-Comeau.

Through documents and photographs gathered from archives of the past, and through testimonials from community members, this 12-panel heritage exhibit is presented from the perspective of the English-speaking community.

“In Search of Yesterday” exhibit is made possible through funding from the Department of Canadian Heritage Cultural Development Fund; the North Shore Community Association also wishes to acknowledge the invaluable contributions of its partners.
