Located in the heart of Canada’s boreal forest, the Cadillac-Larder Fault is a major geologic feature that cuts across Quebec’s Abitibi-Témiscamingue region and into Northern Ontario. It is the source of the region’s abundant mineral resources, and several major settlements were established along its length to engage in mining and forestry. One such settlement is the City of Rouyn-Noranda. Established in 1926, the city is said to occupy a space "between fault and forest", to borrow a phrase from a historical guide of the city’s rural quarters. Maxime Brouillet Maxime Brouillet Given Rouyn-Noranda’s unique geography, the new air terminal serves not only to increase the city’s visibility a... More
