Hon. Pablo Rodriguez
MP, Honoré-Mercier
Minister of Canadian Heritage
RE: George Foote Foss and Canada’s First Gas-powered Automobile
Dear Minister Rodriguez,
Canada’s very first gasoline-powered automobile – the “Fossmobile” – was built right here in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Named for its builder, local resident George Foote Foss, this unusual vehicle was completed in 1897. The 125th anniversary of that momentous event takes place in 2022. Hence, Minister Rodriguez, the urgency of this letter to you.
