LE <>
THE "NORSEMAN"

Le <>, monoplan à aile haute, créé par Robert Noorduyn en 1935, fut l’un des premiers appareils conçus pour répondre aux besoins des pilotes de brousse canadiens. De 1936 à 1960, la Noorduyn Aviation Ltd. en produisit plus de 900. Les aviations militaires du Canada et des États-Unis l’utilisèrent largement pendant la seconde guerre mondiale et l’aviation commerciale l’adopta dans 21 pays. C’est après la guerre, avec le developpement intensif du Nord canadien, que le "Norseman" se révéla l’un des meilleurs modèles d’avion jamais conçus et construits au Canada.

The "Norseman", designed by Robert Noorduyn in 1935, was one of the first aircraft created specifically to meet the needs of Canadian bush flying. Between 1936 and 1960 over 900 of the high wing monoplanes were built by Noorduyn Aviation Ltd. of Montreal. Many saw service with the R.C.A.F. and the U.S.A.A.F. during World War II, and the plane was flown commercially in 21 countries
but it was as the aerial workhorse of the postwar boom in northern Canada that the "Norseman" made its mark as one of the most successful aeroplanes ever designed and built in Canada.

The *Havre de la paix* (Peace Harbour) monument is the first of its kind in the Charlevoix region. The municipality of Saint?Siméon is proud to give all veterans and the entire population an opportunity to come and reflect at a unique location on the banks of the St. Lawrence River. This monument was created by artist Martin Brisson, a skilled sculptor and native of Charlevoix, who lives in La Malbaie and whose passion is reflected in his works.

The municipality of Saint-Siméon created a symbolic monument as part of its 150th anniversary to honour the efforts and bravery of the people of Charlevoix and all over Canada who have given their life for peace.

The Alma Cenotaph, erected by the Alma Royal Canadian Legion on November 9, 1947, is dedicated to the citizens of Alma who fought and died during the two World Wars.

The work of the attacking soldiers was created by sculptor Louis Sorbonne of Quebec. The plate is made of aluminum, significant because several facilities related to the aluminum industry were built in the area to aid in the war effort.

The cenotaph was placed at the corner of Collard Street and Regional Road. In 1962, it was moved near the Town Hall (Alma city center). Then in 1978, a small park was created at the entrance to the Riverbend area and the cenotaph was moved there.

Charles William Kelsey (1877-1975) trained in England and emigrated to Montreal in 1922. His stained glass designs can be found in England, Australia, the United States and in over sixty-eight churches in Canada. His war memorial windows were commissioned between 1921 and 1956 including ten memorials for World War I, twenty-two memorials for World War II and ten memorials for both World Wars.

The Parish of St. Stephen, in Lachine, Quebec is one of the oldest Anglican churches in Canada having been founded in 1822.

A three panel World War II memorial window dedicated to Warrant Officer Class II Reginald Ernest Vokey is in the nave of St. Stephen's Anglican Church. Reginald was the son of Ernest William and Elsa May Vokey, of Lachine Quebec. This window was commissioned in July 1945, for $500.  The window depicts St Michael holding a flaming sword and a shield. Included is the badge for the 415 Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
