Graphical element Graphical element “Carte de nouvelles découvertes” [Map of new discoveries], by Philippe Buache, circa 1752
Graphical element
Graphical element Description
Graphical element Graphical element The colonial empires had dreamed of finding a route to China since the 16th century. Two hundred years later, despite continued French exploration, little was known about western Canada. It was thought that a “western sea” occupied a vast area to the west of the Great Lakes. It was not until the La Vérendrye family reached the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, in the mid-1700s, that this myth was dispelled.
