We spoke with author and Professor at the University of Guelph, Alan Gordon, about Cartier and his 1535 "discovery".

August 13 – Jacques Cartier "Discovers" the St. Lawrence River

Each episode of Today in Canadian History contains an interview with a Canadian professor, journalist, author, or “everyday” historian and focuses on a unique event or moment that took place on that day in Canadian history. Today in Canadian History presents Canada’s past in a unique and accessible manner. The series is designed to be a first step to learning more about our past. We would like to remind Canadians not just about what makes our country great, but what makes it complicated, beautiful, diverse, and ours.
