View from Rivière Aux Canards

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

Originally named Rivière aux Canards ("Duck River"), the River Canard community is home to one of the last vestiges of the French-speaking inhabitants of the Detroit River region, settled from France and Quebec in the 18th century. At St. Joseph’s parish, one can still today (2007) hear the mass in French.
