Their prosperous dairy farm bordered the mighty rapids, and the Conroy brothers, recent graduates of McGill University, analyzed the potential for power generation on their property. This Conroy family history accelerated hydroelectric development and the introduction of the Hull Electric Co. streetcar in 1896. The enormous financial risks of the family&#8217;s electrical venture wiped out their capital in 1906. Hydroelectricity encouraged the site&#8217;s industrial development, and the Conroys turned to Pontiac to continue their wild hydroelectric adventure. This presentation relies on a rich collection of digitized 19th and 20th century photographs to tell the story of Desch\u00eanes Rapids.<\/p>\n<p><i>**Lecture is offered in French**<\/i><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/svg\/1f3db.svg\" alt=\"\ud83c\udfdb\ufe0f\" \/>Location: 3rd floor of the museum (only accessible by stairs)<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/svg\/1f4cd.svg\" alt=\"\ud83d\udccd\" \/>1 Front Street, Gatineau (Aylmer sector)<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/svg\/1f465.svg\" alt=\"\ud83d\udc65\" \/>Places very limited!<br \/>\n<strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/svg\/1f4e7.svg\" alt=\"\ud83d\udce7\" \/>To reserve your place, contact symmesreception@gmail.com or call 819-682-0291.<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.0.3\/svg\/1f4b2.svg\" alt=\"\ud83d\udcb2\" \/>Our lectures are free!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Historical lecture by Lynne Rodier Theme : Hydroelectricity at the Desch\u00eanes Rapids Date : February 19th 2025 at 7:30 pm The Conroy family farm prepares for a major transformation of its industrial facilities at the Desch\u00eanes Rapids.
