Archéo-Pontiac: a community archaeology journey

Come listen to Audrey Lapointe and Jean-Luc Pilon discuss a local public archaeology project

Pontiac1

Audrey and Jean-Luc will be presenting the Archéo-Pontiac project journey, from the initial spark of this public dig project to the findings and results from 2023. They will leave you with the desire to come and dig with next summer!  

Audrey Lapointe has been an elementary school teacher in Quyon, Pontiac, for several years. In addition to teaching and her interest in outdoor education, she collaborates on various projects related to the territory, heritage and nature.  Since 2022, she has been collaborating on the Archéo-Pontiac project, a citizen science initiative focusing on the archaeology and heritage of the Sault-des-Chats.

Jean-Luc Pilon is a former curator of archaeology at the Canadian Museum of History.  While his research interests have spanned more than four decades and ranged across northern Canada, Tierra del Fuego in southern Chile and the battlefields of Vimy Ridge in France, his heart lies in the Ottawa Valley where he was born and raised.  For two years now he has lent a hand to the community-based public archaeology program Archéo-Pontiac.

Bonnechere Day July 13, 2019
Once again the Chapter was invited to deliver a program for Archaeology Day at Bonnechere Provincial Park.  This is an annual event for many of us who participated and had the pleasure of enjoying the many amenities of the park during the weekend.   Our collaboration with the Park and the Friends organization goes back more than twenty years!  The interest, enthusiasm and support we receive from staff and the campers is very much appreciated.
