Famous connection to Quebec

Reporter:  Adrian Schirrman

Last October, Janet and I had a great three week trip back to Canada to visit friends and see a few places we didn’t get to in time that we lived in Canada.  In particular, we focused on Montreal and Quebec City - both are terrific places to visit and we really enjoyed our French Canadian experience.  In Quebec City, we stayed at the famous Le Chateau Frontenac - a classic old hotel perched high on the banks of the St Lawrence River.  The hotel was constructed in stages over the period 1892 - 1893 by the Canadian railways and designed by . . . wait for it . . . none other than Bruce Price!  We always knew that the Price family were talented and entrepreneurial and clearly these traits have been passed down through the generations!

Attached are photos of Le Chateau Frontenac and the plaque dedicated to Bruce Price.

Editor comment:  Given the time it has taken for Bruce to design his lift well...I cannot imagine how long his namesake must have taken to consider all the angles here.
