People of the Ships
Dominyka Taylor created a vibrant artistic story about a little girl’s Irish ancestors who travelled by ship to settle on Partridge Island on the rocky shores of the Bay of Fundy.

Charles Bilodeau, St-Nicolas, QC
L'eau Froide
Charles Bilodeau wrote a touching story of the heroism of one family’s desperate attempt to warn others aboard the sinking RMS Empress of Ireland. Charles’ artistic story brilliantly illustrates the tragic event in which over 1,000 people perished on May 29, 1914 when the doomed ocean liner sank to the bottom of the Saint Lawrence River in only 14 minutes.
