& n entioned the old French
Fortress •of Louisbourg, in my last
report, among places to visit dur-
ing Centennial Year.
Built by the French, at a cost
of 'ten million dollars during the
• reign of Louis XV, , the Fortress
of :Louisbourg on Cape Breton;
Island passed back. • and forth be-
tween French and , British hands,
underwent two sieges and finally
was blown up, by. British ,demoli-
tion troops in 1760.
Developments' in the, ;18th gen-
tury which,' in" the long ',run,
resulted in . Canada eventually,
becoming one country, •.have con
nections, with Louisbourg. ;' , The
federal , government', • .therefore,°
through the•, Department of North-
ern Affairs and National ,'• Re-
sources, is restoring a large part
• of the fortress,' now a national
historic park.
•
Atthe Centennial ,Conunission
we -think ` of the restoration as a
'Centennial •project although per-
haps we can't argue it is such -'on
the basis of technicalities because
it, was started in • 1961 and 'will
continue until the early • 1970's,
at a . cost . over the; years:' of at
least $12,000,000;
The old • city and 'a 'large part
of: the ' battle ;;groundoutside the
r ruined Walls were set •aside by the
government as a national historic.
site in 1928..During 1935-36 a
'museum was built facing the site
of the citadel and • 'it 'contains
mementoes presented by citizens
and relics which, have been un-
earthed' in the ruins of the "fort-
ress. 'The site was made a national

The new project fbr restoration,
of the -:•fortress will reconstruct,
the main features of fortifications,

As well as.• Canada, the New
England •.states of Massachusetts,
. New.' Hampshire;, Connecticut,
Rhode .Island and Maine ' have
strong historical connections with.
• Louisbourg. Four. thousand New
Englanders were involved in the
first siege , and conquest of the
• fortress" in •1744. (Britain handed:
Louisbourg back to the French in
a ' 1748` "treaty but again conducted
a siege and 'conquered it -in 1758..'
British; demolition •'troops' blew up
the fortifications in' 1760.)
jLouisbourg• was • a key : factor
in North American defence and
trade ' for almost .half .a century.:
The study •.of..that era can .be, a
fascinating pastime for 1'aynien
and 'the restoration• r, of the o1d'
fortress and buildingswill' give us
• new insight into the histo Of
8 history,
our country . and an understanding
of life in those times: For pro-
fessional: " historians and archae-
ologists the activities on 'Capt
Breton island provide • niore and
more information.
• The Louisbourgproject . is • just.
one of the many Which, during

attention of Canadians, and ".of
friends abroad, to our interesting
