CELEBRATING THE 400th ANNIVERSARY OF QUEBEC CITY (1608-2008). In 1608, Samuel de Champlain landed on the shores of the St. Lawrence River at a place the Algonquin people called KEBEB. "Where the river narrows" was a popular spot where they came to fish and to barter. For nearly one hundred years prior, the French had tried to get a foothold on this part of the New World but were outmatched by scurvy, harsh winters and hostile natives. Now, as Champlain surveyed this strategic point on the river, its natural harbour and aboriginal presence, he knew it was the ideal location for a trading post. As ships sailed the ocean and canoes paddled up and down river. Kebec became a bustling maritime city, the third largest in North America. Now as the only walled city in North America celebrates its 400th year, visitors have an enviable opportunity to literally step into the past and listen to the echoes of history from within its walls. 70878
