Stairs 1923-1975 & Susan E. (Inglis) Stairs 1923-1978 Dennis was born and grew up in Montreal. After attending Bishop’s College School, he joined the Royal Navy and served on the British aircraft carrier Indefatigable as an airplane navigator. He started coming to Tadoussac at an early age, and in his teens went on trips to Les Escoumins and the Marguerite in nor’shore canoes with his brothers and his cousin Peter Turcot - twenty miles rowing is a long way! He was a tennis and skiing enthusiast and was on the McGill University teams for both sports. He graduated from McGill with honours in engineering and took a position with what was then the Price Brothers Company in Kenogami. He married twice having four children by his first marriage and three by his second. Sue Inglis was born and grew up in Pittenweem, Scotland. She moved to London during the war and served in an anti-aircraft unit defending the city. She married Dennis Stairs in 1957 and together they had three children, Alan, John, and Sarah to add to Dennis’s previous four, Judy, George, Felicite, and Philippa, and she treated all seven with the same mixture of poise, no-nonsense strength, and kindness. Sue had left her home in a thriving metropolitan city to move to Kenogami, a small town a mere ninety miles from Tadoussac. She adapted well, learning skiing as well as other winter activities. She also learned French well enough to lead the Girl Guides in the Lac St Jean region! She came to Tadoussac soon after arriving and embarked on the full range of activities – witness her name on the Mixed-Doubles Tennis Trophy in more than one place, her embroidery creations in the church, and the Scottish-dancing parties she hosted - not to mention numerous picnics around Tadoussac on the beaches, in the hills, and along the shores in the freighter-canoe Seven Steps. She tirelessly nursed Dennis when he took ill, enabling him to spend the last few years of his life in the relative peace and comfort of his own homes in Montreal and in Tadoussac. Dennis passed on to us all, with varying degrees of success, his love of the outdoors whether hiking, cross-country skiing, chopping wood, or fishing. He passed along to us his love of small boats, be they canoes, rowboats, motorboats, or even how to use a freighter canoe as a sailboat! And of course, he led by example in tennis and skiing. Perhaps most of all he tried to teach us to be honest, fair, hard-working, and family-oriented people. Many a time we were cajoled into doing unpleasant tasks with the words "you're not going to let your poor father do everything are you?" Dennis and Sue's children and the entire Tadoussac community remember them as good parents. George Stairs Back to ALL Bios

He was educated at Upper Canada College. His banking career began with the Toronto branch of the Quebec Bank. He won many awards in the 1890s for rowing and canoeing. In the early 1900s, he moved to Quebec, continuing his career with the Quebec Bank, and was a member of the Quebec Bank hockey team that won the bank hockey championships in Montreal in 1900. In 1901 Charles married Aileen Dawson. Aileen was the daughter of Col. George Dudley Dawson and his wife of County Carlow, Ireland, and was born in Toronto. Charles and Aileen had four children: Doris Amelia (1902), George Noel (1904), Herbert, (1906), and May (1908). Their daughter Doris married Jack Molson and their Molson descendants continue to summer in Tadoussac. The family moved to Montmorency Falls where they lived for the rest of Charles’s working career, which continued with the Royal Bank of Canada after their take-over of the Quebec Bank in 1917. They retired to Kingston, Ontario from where annual summer visits to Tadoussac were much enjoyed.

Evans, Trevor Lewis Armitage & Gillian Leslie (Jill) (Murray) From Jill’s painting and drawing, to Buckey’s photography and woodworking, and their collaborative breeding of Great Danes they were a multi-talented couple. Back to ALL Bios Trevor Lewis Armitage Evans 1925 - 1996 & Gillian (Jill) Leslie Murray 1927 - 2018 Trevor was born to Trevor Ainslie Evans and Dorothy Gwendolyn Esther Rhodes on February 23, 1925, in Montreal, sibling to sisters Phoebe and Ainslie and brother Tim. He attended Bishop’s College School where he was Head Prefect and captain of the First Hockey Team. He served in the RCNVR (Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve) in World War Two as soon as he finished school at the age of eighteen, becoming a Leading Seaman on a corvette in the North Atlantic. After the war he attended McGill University at Dawson College for a year, but then decided to follow his father's footsteps into the general insurance business. He worked for the Great American Insurance Company for several years, and then went to Marsh & McLennan, insurance brokers, where he became Executive Vice President for Eastern Canada until early retirement in 1975. He met Gillian Leslie Murray (Jill) in Tadoussac where she was working at a summer job at the Tadoussac Hotel while attending McGill University. They married in 1947. Jill had been born on May 17th, 1927, in Beijing (then known as Peking) China. She led an extraordinary life: a British Subject, born in China. Her father was also born there, the son of Scottish missionaries from Aberdeen, and her mother was of Australian heritage, born in Germany and teaching English in China when they met. Jill lived in Shanghai, England, New York, and finally Canada. All who knew her admired her intellect, gracious humour, and generosity of spirit. She was a talented artist and writer, and as a professional artist Jill created portraits on commission and artistic advertising for a variety of enterprises. She was a devoted mother to their son, David, who also became a devoted artist and photographer. Trevor and Jill enjoyed skiing, golf and curling together, and they raised, bred, and showed Great Danes, co-founding the Great Dane Club of Canada. Jill became a renowned historian of that breed of dogs, and was widely known for her book The Time Traveller an illustrated account of the development of the Great Dane over centuries. Affectionally known as Buck, Trevor was extremely sociable and had a captivating sense of humour. He loved word-play and was a master of comic repartee which he often engaged in while at the family dinner table in Tadoussac. His humour was often outrageously inventive, as when he told his grandson that he could foretell the future: “I know what you will be saying ten minutes from now,” he told his grandson one day. “What, Uncle Buck?” the boy replied. “You’ll be saying, ‘Stop twisting my ear!’” He loved Tadoussac and was a keen fisherman. He is affectionally remembered for a not-so-successful ‘fishing’ expedition that occurred at a family picnic at a small beach just beyond Red Point. He had brought along several cans of beer and to cool them decided to place them in the frigid water facing the picnic site. After some time, he decided to retrieve the beer. What wasn’t accounted for was that in the meantime the tide had risen, and Buck spent a considerable time digging in the wet sand with hands and feet, searching in vain for the precious cans and uttering successively more urgent oaths. He never retrieved the beer but that beach is still known by family members as Bucky’s Beach. Trevor was also an avid sportsman, excelling in hockey and football while at school, and competing at curling and golf as an adult. When a Major League Baseball franchise, the Expos, arrived in Montreal, he and Jill would glue themselves to the broadcasts and keep score of all the vital statistics that sport is famous for. Trevor was also a gifted carpenter and photographer, crafting beautiful custom furniture, and creating a darkroom which he used himself and served as an inspiration to his son who continued the practice. He and Jill eventually decided to move from Hudson, Quebec where they had lived for many years to Saltspring Island, BC., in part because of the moderate climate there, and also to be near his brother Tim and Tim’s wife Claire. Sadly, he passed away in his sleep on February 10th, 1996, the very night they had signed an agreement to purchase a house there. While Jill was understandably stricken by Trevor’s unexpected and sudden death, she stayed with the plan and kept the house. Jill had friends from all over the globe with whom she communicated extensively via social media. She loved her life on Saltspring Island and the many people she knew and cherished there. She volunteered at the library and was an avid bridge player who wrote a column on bridge for The Driftwood. She was a devoted mother and grandmother, sharing her love of language and history with them, always encouraging their creative curiosity about myriad facets of life, and her exceptionally broad experience of living in China, England, the United States, and Canada. Jill passed away peacefully on November 14th, 2018, at The Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, BC. She and Trevor are survived by their son David, their daughter-in-law Gai, their grandchildren, Taylor (Chelsea Rooney) and Lois (Parker Reid), and great-grandchildren Miles and Ruby Reid.

Many happy summers were spent in Tadoussac staying at ‘The Barn’ our cottage that has seen 5 generations of our family. The connection with family and summer friends was something he always looked forward to. He loved Tadoussac and all it entailed. This unique and special place and its incredibly supportive community continues to bring our family peace and we see William everywhere. William grew up in Ottawa, where he attended elementary school, high school and finally Algonquin College. In high school, he developed a passion for film and spent many a happy hour filming The Friday Show, a segment for the Colonel By Secondary School. One can still find these videos on Youtube. William’s sense of humour and zest for life shine through in each and every show. The annual Film Festival was renamed The William Phee Film Festival in his honour. William attended Algonquin College for Radio and Television broadcasting, but changed his focus to the Cabinetmaking Program, in which he excelled. We hosted an annual fundraiser for 5 years and with the proceeds established the William Phee Bursary at Algonquin College for students entering the Cabinetmaking Program. William was a natural athlete, playing competitive hockey for most of his formative years. He loved a good game of golf. He was a thinker and had a ‘why not’ attitude towards life which had him trying many things, from guitar playing to sky diving, fine art to motorcycle lessons. As was said at his memorial service here at the Tadoussac Protestant Chapel, life is about choices. The things we choose to do can sometimes have devastating effects on those around us. William made that kind of choice. His death, as a result of an accidental overdose, has rippled through our family and has changed us forever. That being said, William will always be remembered for his wonderful sense of humour, his innate curiosity, and his loyalty to his friends and family. Back to ALL Bios

Her parents were George Carington Smith and Winifred Dawes Smith and she had one sister, Pixie. She grew up on Dorchester Ave. in Montreal and attended King’s Hall, Compton. Her summers were spent in Tadoussac with her many Smith and Price cousins. In 1929, in Montreal, she married Benjamin Arthur Palin Dobson and moved to Heaton Lodge, Bolton, Lancashire in England. She would live the rest of her life in England but made frequent visits to Canada and particularly Tadoussac. She and Ben had three sons. Bob was born in 1931, Chris in 1936, and Andrew in 1942. She had five grandchildren, Richard, Caroline, Jonathan, Nick, and Alexandra (Alex). After Ben’s death in 1962, Marion continued to live in their family home, Whitestock, in the Lake District. Their son Bob took over the family home in the late 1970s or early 1980s and Marion moved to a cottage in the Cotswolds to be near Chris and his wife Pen. In 1982, she moved into a cottage on Chris and Pen’s property and was there until her death in 1992. Marion was smart and interested in everything, especially anything political. She was very politically astute. She rose up the ranks of the Conservative Party and eventually became Chair of the Northwest area of England. This was a huge volunteer job for which she was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1960 for “Political Services.” Her interest in, and knowledge of, politics never waned. She was also a volunteer for the Bolton Nursing Association, the Royal College of Nursing, and the Bolton Hostel Committee. To quote her daughter-in-law, Pen, “She was a wonderful, loving, caring woman.” Pen Dobson Back to ALL Bios

Theatre director and translator, Bill loved Tadoussac from childhood and shared it with theatre artists from around the world Glassco, William (Bill) Theatre director and translator, Bill loved Tadoussac from childhood and shared it with theatre artists from around the world Back to ALL Bios William Glassco (Bill) (August 30,1935 - September 13, 2004) Bill’s birth was recorded by his maternal grandmother, Lady Blanche Price, in the pencilled diary she wrote on her bedroom wall at Fletcher Cottage in Tadoussac. William was the youngest child of Willa (nee Price) and J. Grant and as he was born on the same day as his grandfather, Sir William Price, was named in his honour. Bill and his siblings, June, Dick and Gay were each born in Quebec City, raised in Toronto, and summered in Tadoussac. Together with a gaggle of cousins who would spend summer days in unlimited adventures, Bill formed a connection to Quebec and Tadoussac that ran throughout his life. Educated at Upper Canada College, Ridley College, Princeton University and as a Rhodes Scholar, Oxford, Bill was settling in for a stable career as a tenured English professor at the University of Toronto. Maybe it was the memory of Tadoussac dress-up boxes and the elaborate plays and musicals he produced, casting any available cousins and performing for dour aunts and exasperated nannies. Or how he cajoled all the neighbourhood kids to perform in his basement on Dunloe Road in Toronto’s Forest Hill, for parents and friends. But Bill took a leap of faith and abandoned his tenure in 1969 to move his young family to New York City for two years so that he could become a theatre director. Upon returning to Canada in 1971 he and his wife, Jane (nee Gordon) started the Tarragon Theatre, committed to developing the works of Canadian Playwrights, both French and English. He nurtured and produced many of Canada’s foremost playwrights, David Freeman, David French, Judith Thompson, James Reaney, and, with John Van Burek, translated many of the plays of Michel Tremblay. Michel-Marc Bouchard was a life-long friend and he both translated and directed many of Michel-Marc’s plays. He also formed what is now CanStage in Toronto in 1988. In 1990 he moved to Quebec City to further his freelance career in French Canada and then to Montreal where he founded the Montreal Young Company in 1999. When his marriage dissolved in 1976, Bill brought his three children to Tadoussac for the first time. They stayed in the hotel and Bill set his eye on his grandmother’s house, Fletcher Cottage, which was owned by two distant cousins who were tiring of maintaining such a huge property. By the next summer Billy owned the house and was a Tadoussac boy once more. He used the large house facing the bay as the ultimate salon, inviting people all year to come and stay for a week in the summer. He would entertain family, theatre artists, and old university friends from across the globe. Dinners of 25 were not uncommon and luckily the house could stretch to fit most of them. There would be morning swims across the lake, outings to Bon-Desir, hikes up the fiord and jam-making sessions that would last days. He was a gifted pianist, a master of the American Musical Songbook, and evenings were full of music and singing. The chapel will remember Bill for his consummate organ playing. He loved the formal traditions of Tadoussac and the unique social spiritual mix that happened on Sunday mornings at 10:30. At 6 foot 4 inches he was a total gentleman with a passion for theatre and Quebec and a terrific sense of fun. Bill died of thyroid cancer at his daughter’s home after one last summer in Tadoussac in 2004. Fletcher Cottage carries on Bill’s traditions through his children and grandchildren: Daniel and Karen and their son, Tyler; Briony and Clive and their children, Max, Zoe, and Kyra; Rufus and Dinora and their two boys, Sebastian and Benjamin. In 1998, Bill started the Tadoussac Playwrights Residence, which his family have carried on to this day in Bill’s honour. Now called the Glassco Translation Residency in Tadoussac, 4 pairs of playwrights and translators are invited to work together at Fletcher Cottage for 10 days each June under the mentorship of award-winning translator, Maryse Warda. This nationally recognised program, run in collaboration with Playwrights Workshop Montreal has introduced many playwrights and translators to Tadoussac and to Quebec and allowed them to flourish and write in this special place producing plays that would make Bill proud.

The first English-speaking full-time resident of Tadoussac and a prominent citizen. Radford, Joseph & Isabella (White) The first English-speaking full-time resident of Tadoussac and a prominent citizen. Back to ALL Bios Joseph Radford 1815 – 1885 & Isabella (White) 1817-1902 (version française à suivre) Joseph Radford came to Tadoussac in the 1840s, it is believed from England, and lived in Tadoussac for most of his life with his wife, Isabella White, and his daughter. They are believed to be the only anglophone full-time residents of the town at that time. Joseph Radford was a prominent citizen in the early days of the town of Tadoussac and had many different jobs. He originally came to work in the Price Sawmill in Anse à l’Eau, but in 1848 William Price closed the mill, and Radford became the manager, in a caretaker role, to occasionally operate the mill when enough wood was harvested. In 1874 the old mill was ceded to the Federal Ministry of Marine Fisheries for $1, and Radford directed the renovation of the old building for its new role, as a fish hatchery, which he managed for the next eleven years. In 1878, surviving documents show that he was paid $400 for “conducting a fish breeding establishment,” and the hatchery raised and released up to a million small salmon a year in the area’s rivers. Mr. Radford was the last Factor of the Hudson’s Bay Post, which was located in front of the Hotel Tadoussac until it was demolished in about 1870. He was also listed as Tadoussac’s Postmaster, Protection Officer, and Customs Agent, and apparently served as the Swedish and Norwegian Vice-Consul. It is uncertain what that job entailed! When the group of summer residents, Rhodes, Russell, and Urquhart got together to form a company to build the first Tadoussac Hotel in 1864, Joseph Radford was a member of the group. He is also listed as one of the founders of the Tadoussac Protestant Chapel in 1866. It was in 1863 that he bought the land opposite the Hotel Georges from David Price, and demolished the house that was there to build a magnificent white house overlooking the old salmon pool and the cove. Early photos of Anse à l’Eau feature two imposing buildings above the wharf and mill, the Hotel Georges (then a residence) and the Radford House. In 1873 there was excitement in Tadoussac. Lord Dufferin was coming to build a house and become a summer resident. Joseph Radford had been a town councillor and by this time was the Mayor of Tadoussac, although the town had not yet been incorporated so he is not listed as the first mayor officially. However, he and the other prominent people in town at the time wrote a flowery letter of welcome, in which they explained that they could not possibly afford to provide a welcoming reception, being such a small community, but “hope that we may have the pleasure during many future seasons of seeing your Excellencies and your amiable family at our beautiful little seaside village.” Joseph Radford died in Tadoussac in 1885 at the age of seventy, and his family continued to live in the house for many years. His unmarried daughter, Belle, inherited the house and lived there until she was too old to manage it, whereupon she sold it to Lady Price in 1918. Belle went to live in Montreal but continued to spend her summers in Tadoussac, staying at the Hotel Georges across the street, then known as the Desmeules Boarding House. Ainslie Stephen remembered going with her mother, Dorothy Evans, to visit Belle in the years before her death in 1935. The Radford House was used to put up overflow guests from Lady Price’s cottage, which was Fletcher Cottage by then, and as these guests were mainly relatives and friends of her son, young men home from the First World War, it became known as the “bachelor house”. It was destroyed by fire during a strong northwest storm in the winter of 1932. Tom & Alan Evans Joseph Radford 1815-1885 et Isabella (White) 1817-1902 Joseph Radford est arrivé à Tadoussac dans les années 1840, probablement en provenance d'Angleterre, et a vécu à Tadoussac pendant la majeure partie de sa vie avec sa femme, Isabella White, et sa fille. On croit qu'ils étaient les seuls anglophones résidents à temps plein de la ville à cette époque. Joseph Radford était un citoyen éminent des débuts de la ville de Tadoussac et occupait de nombreux emplois différents. À l'origine, il travaillait à la scierie Price à Anse à l'Eau, mais en 1848, William Price a fermé la scierie et Radford en est devenu le gérant, dans un rôle de gardien, pour faire fonctionner occasionnellement la scierie lorsque suffisamment de bois était récolté. En 1874, l'ancien moulin a été cédé au ministère fédéral des pêches maritimes pour 1 $, et Radford a dirigé la rénovation de l'ancien bâtiment pour son nouveau rôle, en tant qu'écloserie de poissons, qu'il a dirigé pendant les onze années suivantes. En 1878, des documents conservés montrent qu'il a été payé 400 $ pour « diriger un établissement d'élevage de poissons », et l'écloserie a élevé et relâché jusqu'à un million de petits saumons par année dans les rivières de la région. M. Radford était le dernier facteur du poste de la Baie d'Hudson, qui était situé en face de l'hôtel Tadoussac jusqu'à sa démolition vers 1870. Il était également répertorié comme maître de poste, agent de protection et agent des douanes de Tadoussac, et aurait apparemment servi comme vice-consul de Suède et de Norvège. On ne sait pas exactement en quoi consistait ce travail ! Lorsque le groupe de résidents estivaux, Rhodes, Russell et Urquhart, se sont réunis pour former une entreprise afin de construire le premier hôtel de Tadoussac en 1864, Joseph Radford était membre du groupe. Il est également cité comme l'un des fondateurs de la chapelle protestante de Tadoussac en 1866. C'est en 1863 qu'il a acheté le terrain de David Price en face de l'Hôtel Georges et qu'il a démoli la maison qui s'y trouvait pour construire une magnifique maison blanche surplombant l'ancien bassin à saumon et l'anse. Les premières photos de l’Anse à l’Eau montrent deux édifices imposants au-dessus du quai et du moulin, l’Hôtel Georges (alors une résidence) et la Maison Radford. En 1873, l'effervescence règne à Tadoussac. Lord Dufferin venait bâtir une maison et devenir résident d'été. Joseph Radford avait été conseiller municipal et était à cette époque maire de Tadoussac, bien que la ville n'ait pas encore été constituée en société et qu'il ne soit donc pas officiellement répertorié comme le premier maire. Cependant, lui et d’autres personnalités de la ville de l’époque ont écrit une lettre de bienvenue fleurie, dans laquelle ils expliquaient qu’ils ne pouvaient pas se permettre d’offrir un accueil chaleureux, étant donné la petite taille de la communauté, mais « espèrent que nous aurons le plaisir, au cours de nombreuses saisons futures, de revoir Vos Excellences et votre aimable famille dans notre magnifique petit village balnéaire ». Joseph Radford est décédé à Tadoussac en 1885 à l'âge de soixante-dix ans, et sa famille a continué d'habiter la maison pendant de nombreuses années. Sa fille célibataire, Belle, a hérité de la maison et y a vécu jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit trop vieille pour la gérer, après quoi elle l'a vendue à Lady Price en 1918. Belle est allée vivre à Montréal, mais a continué à passer ses étés à Tadoussac, logeant à l'Hôtel Georges de l'autre côté de la rue, alors connu sous le nom de Maison de pension Desmeules. Ainslie Stephen se rappelle être allée avec sa mère, Dorothy Evans, rendre visite à Belle dans les années précédant sa mort en 1935. La Radford House était utilisée pour héberger les invités en trop du chalet de Lady Price, qui était alors Fletcher Cottage, et comme ces invités étaient principalement des parents et des amis de son fils, des jeunes hommes revenus de la Première Guerre mondiale, elle est devenue connue sous le nom de « maison de baccalauréat ». Il a été détruit par un feu lors d'une grosse tempête du nord-ouest durant l'hiver 1932. Tom et Alan Evans Back to ALL Bios

James and Anne loved their home in Chambly and their summer-long vacations in Tadoussac. Beattie, James R. & Anne Macfarlane James and Anne loved their home in Chambly and their summer-long vacations in Tadoussac. Back to ALL Bios James R. Beattie 1900 – 1989 & Anne Macfarlane Beattie 1908 – 1984 James was born in Montreal in March 1900 - so we always knew how old he was! He was the youngest of four, preceded by brothers William and Donald, and sister Jessie Bertram. He spent his career in real estate. Anne was born in Montreal in August, 1908, and graduated with a B.A. from McGill University. It was while working in the library that she first met James, and they were married in August, 1934. Anne was the eldest of four children, followed by Isobel Farquharson, Robert Macfarlane and Alice Konow, all of whom later visited Anne and James in Tadoussac with their families. James and Anne bought an old stone house on the Richelieu River in Chambly, about 30 km southeast of Montreal and there they had four children; Nancy, Benny, Alison and Janet. James and Anne loved living in Chambly, where they had a large garden with lawns, grape vines, vegetable and flower gardens, six apple trees and a pond for James’s goldfish in the summer. He enjoyed fishing in the rapids behind the house, and in the fall, shooting woodcock in the woods nearby. In the winter, he used to shoot foxes, and there were a number of fox fur blankets in our Tadoussac house. During World War II, Anne did volunteer work with the local Red Cross. She was an avid reader, went for daily walks, and enjoyed skiing in the Laurentians. In Montreal she was active with the Grenfell Mission, the University Women's Club, the Red Feather (Centraide), as well as volunteering at the Montreal General Hospital cafeteria gift shop. James was first attracted to Tadoussac because it is hay fever free. As a child, Anne had summered with her family across the St. Lawrence in Cacouna, but after she was married, it was Tadoussac for the rest of her life. Here she swam in the lake and played golf and tennis. James, however, had absolutely no interest in using a racquet to hit a ball back and forth over a net stretched between two posts, nor using a club to hit a little white ball around a mowed field. His love was fly fishing; speckled trout in his secret lakes, sea trout in the Saguenay with Lewis Evans, and salmon fishing on the Saint Marguerite River. And he always wore a tie (usually a Macfarlane tartan tie, same one he wore gardening and going to church!) and jacket, even while gardening, fishing and at picnics on the beach. He often had a cigarette or cigar stub in his mouth, but never inhaled. (In 1919, a doctor advised him to try smoking to help his asthma!) His trademark was the jeep, an old Land Rover which he drove everywhere including down to the beach at Moulin Baude. James and Anne both loved picnics, be they day-long visits to Moulin Baude or birthday bonfires at night on the beach. They loved the fresh, Saguenay-mountain air and the Lower St. Lawrence salty air, and Anne never missed a chance to dash quickly in and out of the water, always accompanied by the shrieks and sounds familiar to those who brave these frigid waters. And berry-picking. Berry-picking was always an important household activity; wild strawberries, followed by raspberries and then blueberries. The house rule was “if you don't pick them, you don't eat them”. And always, those black flies! In late August, the adults picked cranberries, then spent an evening in the kitchen around the woodstove making the cranberry sauce for Christmas dinner. James was treasurer of our Tadoussac Protestant Chapel for a number of years. He and Jack Molson spent endless hours planning and creating the Canadian Heritage of Quebec in an effort to preserve both artefacts and some of the historic properties that were in danger of development along both coasts of the St. Lawrence River. They bought Tadoussac’s original Pilot House which was the red brick house beside Tadalac. This became part of the Molson-Beattie Museum, and is now a summer rental property. For many years, James and Anne would drive down to Tadoussac for May 24th and Thanksgiving long weekends to add to their summers here. Dad loved Tadoussac so much that he never wanted to travel anywhere else. Mom was happiest when her sisters and their families were holidaying with us. In the evenings after a day filled with various activities, she enjoyed a quiet read or a game of bridge. Anne died in her beloved Tadoussac at the age of 76 in the summer of 1984.

Always known as Sally (after the dog as she would tell you) she was the little sister of Greville, Ginny & Tim. All were born in England whilst Ted fought with the Canadian Army in Europe, but returned as soon as peace was declared with Sally sleeping in a drawer in Mary’s cabin. The family lived in Ottawa but came every year to Tad, where she remembered vividly Grandad Harry taking all his grandchildren for an ice cream at 12.45 - just in time to spoil their appetites for lunch “Oh Harry ...” as Granny Price would say! They came on the CSL boats but also with Ted driving on the ‘washboard’ gravel roads east of Quebec. Mary especially loved Tad and came for three months every year - June through to Labor Day whenever possible. Ted’s Army career required numerous postings across Canada and in London before Dar e Salaam and finally as Military Attache in Washington. Sally, having been ‘badly educated following the flag’, left Mt Allison University in Nova Scotia to join her parents in Tanzania for two years working as a secretary for the Sisal Board. On their return she took a job as a medical secretary to a heart research consultant at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. Always expected by her family to ‘marry an English man’ it was in Montreal in 1970 that Sally met Ross Coad. They married in Ottawa 26th June, 1971, and after a honeymoon in New York City and a weekend in Tadoussac (naturally!) they set up home in Somerset, England. Tori, Jonathan, Gilly and Struan were Sally’s contribution to Ted and Mary’s 16 grandchildren following from Uncle Guy Smith’s wedding telegram: There was a young man named Coad, Who took on quite a load For in marrying our Sally They’ll add to the tally For the Prices are prone to explode! Sally was distinctly a Price - mahogany red hair, a steely will and wonderfully loving. “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all” was an adage of Mary’s that Sally took as her own (not that she didn’t have some very clear perceptions!). Much involved with South Petherton Infants School in England whose governors she chaired, her family and friends endowed the building of Kasenei School in Kenya in her memory. Sally died 20th August 2008 after nearly 3 years of struggle with ovarian cancer, alert and clear-headed right to the very end. She left 7 grandchildren when she died, Isaac, Annapurna, Jacob, Dexter, Zara, Verity and Robyn; with a further 7 since: Scarlett, Barney, Eddy, Pippa, Grace, Annabel and Archie. Tadoussac was most definitely her spiritual home and if you feel quietly relaxed and warmed by the love & friendship in this place - you will understand why!

The eldest daughter of Henry and Helen Price, Helen was a huge help to her ten siblings and their children Price, Helen Florence The eldest daughter of Henry and Helen Price, Helen was a huge help to her ten siblings and their children Back to ALL Bios Helen Florence Price 1902-1981 Helen was born in Quebec in 1902, the eldest daughter of Henry Edward Price and Helen Gilmour. She spent her many summers in Tadoussac, growing up with ten younger siblings and at many times looking out for them. Helen had an active and outgoing life and kept up on all news of the family. She lived in Toronto where facing the hardships of the Great Depression, she worked and for some years served as the Matron for the Junior school at Upper Canada College. In her later years in Tadoussac, she often stayed with her good friend Grace Scott. She had many nieces and nephews, some of whom knew her well, remembering her appearing in pantaloons and black stockings. For one of her nieces, she was there to drive her to the hospital to have her baby. For another, Aunt Helen made the arrangements for her niece and her husband to spend their honeymoon in Tadoussac during the month of April. She was always interested in others, very generous and wanting to help whenever possible. Aunt Helen would never be forgotten by those who knew her. Greville Price Back to ALL Bios
