The Voyageurs
This short film tells the tale of the men who drove big freighter canoes into the wilderness in the days when the fur trade was Canada's biggest business. The film recreates scenes of the early 19th century with a soundtrack by an all-male chorus.

“I don't know how many times I put this film on for visitors when I worked at RMHNHS. I had it pretty much memorized back then: "...simple, lusty men..." - a definite classic!”

“Wow! This film was played every year at my summer camp to inaugurate the annual colour wars- which was themed as a epic battle of Lumberman vs Voyageurs. I love it!”
