Ryan Young is a Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue City Councillor and a College Professor at John Abbott College who has done extensive research about the history of Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue. Every year, he leads a number of historical walking tours in the old village of Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue. His talk will cover what is known about the Indigenous history of the area, the beginnings of European settlement on the western tip of the island of Montreal, and then continuing all the way through to the present day. With the aid of historical photographs, the old village buildings of Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue that still exist from the 1800s will be discussed along with the early history of Macdonald College in the early 1900s.
