Arvida National Historic Site of Canada is recognized in particular for its important role in the Second World War. The Arvida plant supplied up to 90% of the aluminum used by Allied countries for the construction of fighter jets. Aluminum production was then defended by soldiers and anti-aircraft batteries. This M1A1 90mm anti-aircraft gun was acquired by the City of Saguenay from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 209 Arvida to be exhibited in public space to commemorate this historic event.

Erected by Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 20, this monument is dedicated to the war dead of the First and Second World Wars.

The Salaberry Armoury was named in memory of Lieutenant-Colonel Charles-Michel d’Irumberry de Salaberry, CB (November 1778 – February 1892).

Charles-Michel d’Irumberry de Salaberry was born in Beauport, near Quebec City, in November 1778. He enlisted in the British Army in 1792 at the age of 14, and saw action with the 60th Regiment in the West Indies and in the Netherlands. He was given a company command in 1803, continuing to serve in Europe and the West Indies. In 1810, de Salaberry was recalled to Canada with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. He served as aide-de-camp to Major General Francis de Rottenburg, but in 1812 he was appointed to command a new corps of volunteers, the Canadian Voltigeurs (light infantry). Les Voltigeurs were essentially militia men, but de Salaberry trained them as regulars similar to the Fencible units raised in Upper Canada. In November 1812, de Salaberry commanded the advance guard of the force that turned away an American attack at La Colle Mill. Later, some Voltiguers took part in the decisive Battle of Crysler’s Farm. In October 1813, he confronted the Americans threatening Montreal. Colonel de Salaberry, at the head of some 300 Voltiguers and Canadian and Indian volunteers, repulsed several thousand American troops. In 1817, he was made a Companion of the Order of the Bath. He later became a legislative councilor for Lower Canada until his death in February 1829.

The Pogo, YFL104 a 36-foot auxiliary craft, built by Marine Industries Ltd and launched July 8, 1954, was the first RCN vessel to enter the uncharted waters of the Canadian Arctic. She completed surveys in 1955 to 1957. She was named for a newspaper comic staring POGO possum by cartoonist Walt Kelly. In the 1960’s, Pogo was transferred from Halifax to HMCS York, the Naval Reserve’s establishment in Toronto, to become the unit’s tender. In the mid-1970s she was transferred to HMCS Carleton at Dows Lake, Ottawa. She was transferred from the Department of National Defence to the Canadian War Museum in the summer of 1995. In spring 2005, the War Museum transferred ownership to the Outaouais Branch of the Navy League of Canada, to become the unit’s tender.

Pogo is an aluminum sounding boat which had accompanied the voyages of HMCS Labrador, Canada’s first and last Arctic Patrol vessel, and has a draught of just over three and a half feet. Outfitted with a Red Wing Model DOOD 66 hp inboard diesel engine, the Pogo could reach a top speed of 8.5 knots. The cruising range of the Pogo was 430 nautical miles. Her total displacement was 15,900 pounds. The forecastle was raised slightly from the rest of the deck, and inside were four berths, a galley and the head. The centre area of the deckhouse contained the operations cabin of Pogo’s research activities. The ship’s wheel was on the port side and the chart table was on the starboard. The aft section of Pogo’s hull contained two more berths and an open bridge on the deck above. Her mast head could fold down when carried in her davits and the fo’c’sle storage was separated from the forward crew compartment by a bulkhead and was only accessible by a hatch on the forward starboard deck. A bright yellow ice skiff was lashed to the centre of the deck behind the open bridge.

In the winter months, Pogo is located at the Leblanc Marina at 1213 Boulevard Hurtubise.
