August 15 to 17 in Saint-Jean, Quebec

See history in action! Relive Canadian history and the role of Sir Guy Carleton at the upcoming re-enactment of the Siege of Fort St-Jean on the August 15-17 weekend. The re-enactment will take place at the Fort Saint-Jean Museum in Saint-Jean, Quebec (230 k due east of Ottawa).

Sir Guy Carleton was the commander of British forces in Canada. Read about his involvement in the Siege of Fort St. Jean on Wikipedia.

To learn more about this military action in our history, see the Facebook video, American Invasion of Canada (1775).

Do you have a Loyalist ancestor who took part? If any of your Loyalist ancestors participated in these battles (or others, especially if Sir Guy Carleton was involved), please contact us at the Branch email address with your information or any questions. With the American 250th next year, we would like to highlight their involvement.
