Leger-Jean-Baptiste-Noël Veyssière (1728-1800) was a Récollet priest who converted to Protestantism. A scandalous act indeed! Unable to speak English coherently, Veyssière began his ministry to a congregation largely composed of English-speaking soldiers. Hosts Julie Miller and François Roy tell a funny story on the site that used to be the first Protestant cemetery and the final resting place of this unusual man in Trois-Rivières, Quebec.
You can see The Convert, and other short docs in our Scandal Makers series, on QAHN’s YouTube channel!

Richmond County Historical Society president Norma Husk reports that the museum has just welcomed its very first visitor, a native of Drummondville, via the newly installed wheelchair ramp. It will be recalled that the ramp, as well as a new handicap-accessible bathroom, and other related modifications to Melbourne's historic former manse, were paid for through QAHN's "Local Built Heritage Restoration" project, which was itself funded by Quebec's Secrétariat aux relations avec les Québécois d'expression anglaise (SRQEA).
