and a wide range of experience in the ar- eas of municipal infrastructure and the en- vironment as well as a local knowledge of the City.” St. Marseille boasts a 21 year career with GENIVAR where he served as Senior Direc- tor of Environment for Eastern Ontario. He has managed a variety of municipal proj- ects in the area of water and wastewater treatment, environmental monitoring, brownfields, solid waste management and Incredibly, the initial disaster had a death toll of 15, all workers. A list of names is pres- ent under the many old photographs. “Some had come all the way from Pitts- burg to work on the bridge” said Lauzon. “Most were from Montreal, Cornwall as well as from neighboring American States.” In an incredible act of generosity, the sur- viving workers helped pay for four of the victims’ funerals. Eight of the fifteen were buried in Cornwall cemeteries. One quick gaze around the glass show- cases reveals real hidden gems of Cornwall’s bridge history, such as an old pamphlet, old postcards, an old invitation to Robert Bor- den himself as well as his own reply. Sev- eral of the showcased artifacts present have all been amassed by the museum mostly through donations. “We have people come here and give us incredible things simply because it’s taking too much room in their house,” said an ex- cited Lauzon.
diversion. He has also taken part in several committees such as the Waterfront Devel- opment Committee, the Pesticide Use Advi- sory Committee and the Municipal Environ- mental Advisory Committee “I am thrilled and humbled by this chal- lenging opportunity to contribute to the community that my family calls home,” said St. Marseille. As General Manager of Infrastructure and Municipal Works, St. Marseille will oversee the City’s Infrastructure Planning, Environ- ment, Municipal Works and Transit Divi- sions. A resident of Cornwall, St. Marseille is heavily involved in his community through a number of groups and organizations such as Team Cornwall, Cornwall Sea Lions, Cornwall Multi-Sport Club, Cornwall Cycling Club, St. Lawrence River Institute of Envi- ronmental Sciences and Professional Engi- neers Ontario, among others. A picture of a man in a suit adorns one of the frames in Lauzon’s exhibit. The obvi- ously important individual is about to cut a ribbon during the inauguration of the Roo- sevelt bridge. In his hand is a larger than normal pair of scissors. In the glass case, located under the frame are the said scis- sors, looking brand new. “I found them in the museum, tucked away” said the local historian. As she concludes the tour of her exhibit, Lauzon pulls out two giant size reg- istries. “Those are from the house of refuge” she said all the while going through the count- less pages. “I don’t know how they got here, if they were donated or sold. Lauzon explained that her future project will feature the said establishment, a topic that has interested her in the past. As for her newly revealed bridge exhibit, the Cornwall historian hopes history lovers will visit the museum, so they can learn something quite interesting about their community’s past.

CORNWALL| Deep under the Cornwall Mu- seum lies an exhibit that sheds light on a vital part of Cornwall: its many bridges. Local historian and university student Sara Lauzon has been working on the project for some time now and invites the local community to come discover the many interesting aspects that surround our historically important link to the Unit- ed States. Made up of seven frames as well as glass showcases, the interesting exhibit is being housed in the museum’s basement. “There have been two bridge disasters in Cornwall’s history” said Lauzon, pointing at several pictures depicting the tragic events. “One happened in 1898 and the other in 1908.”
