Journal Entry 1 by JessicaEby from Cambridge, Ontario Canada on Wednesday, December 6, 2017
I purchased this book within the last month from a charity shop in my neighbouring city of Kitchener, ON and I read through it quickly over the past couple of days. I remember learning about the voyageurs in school as a small child, but this book was an interesting refresher. I'm not sure just yet exactly when or where I will release this book, but in a couple of weeks I am planning to travel to Quebec, so maybe it will find a new home on that trip. I will be in the region of the Ottawa River, which was quite important in the French fur trade, so perhaps there will be a good spot to release this! We'll see!

In celebration of the sesquicentennial, I have dedicated this year's bookcrossing activity to the reading and sharing of Canadian stories. The Voyageurs and the fur trade in general were an important part of the founding and expansion of Canada, so I'm happy to include a book on the subject in my Canada 150 project!

Journal Entry 2 by JessicaEby at Tim Hortons in Papineauville, Québec Canada on Sunday, December 17, 2017

Released 6 yrs ago (12/17/2017 UTC) at Tim Hortons in Papineauville, Québec Canada

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

My husband and I are spending the weekend in Montebello and we found ourselves without much to do this evening, so we decided to take a little drive within the region. We found ourselves in Papineauville, a town on the Ottawa River, and we stopped at Tim Hortons for some chocolat chaud. When we were finished, I left this book on the table where we sat (by the fireplace).

If you've found this book, thanks for picking it up and checking out its journal! If you're new to bookcrossing, welcome. We'd love it if you'd stick around with us a while. I really hope that you enjoy both this book and the whole bookcrossing experience!

This book was released as part of the 2017 "52 Towns in 52 Weeks" Release Challenge. I finished my 52 in the summer, but I've kept on going-- Papineauville was Town #78 for me!
