Today was a 38 miler under relentless sunshine. They had lunch on the Quebec side of the river at the famous Fairmont Chateau Montebello, an enormous log structure made of red cedar (a few photos of it below).
They are staying at a public marina tonight on an island at Hawkesbury, Ontario. Hawkesbury is touted as the third most bilingual town in
Ontario, with about 70% of its inhabitants being fluent in
English and
French, the two
official languages of
Canada. (
West Nipissing is first with 73.4% followed by
Hearst at 71%.) 89% of the population is made up of French speaking
Franco-Ontarians.
