QUÉBEC, Oct. 20, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - 25 years after the creation of its educational activities, The National Battlefields Commission (NBC) celebrated the visit of its one millionth group participant this morning. The students of Mr. Bouchard's class from the Marguerite-Bourgeoys elementary school in La Cité-Limoilou experienced a special conclusion to their activities at the Plains of Abraham Museum. The 60 elementary school students were grinning from ear to ear when a contemporary military officer unveiled a cake and Plains-themed gifts to mark this special occasion.
