We&#8217;re proud to highlight the importance of marine transportation in a city where the regional economy is heavily dependent on it. The MEA and its members have played a key role in the development of the city of Trois-Rivi\u00e8res.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHistoire sur l\u2019eau\u201d is a temporary exhibition at the museum that features an electric pontoon excursion for approximately a dozen participants at a time. Participants are treated to an immersive exploration of the history of the Saint-Maurice River, which was a pulp and paper hub in the last century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cruise lasts around an hour and explores the infrastructure of former pulp and paper plants, immersing participants in the events that shaped the river and its surroundings. Participants enjoy a pleasant outing, while learning a little more about a formative era for the region where, not too long ago, men and women toiled and thousands of logs converged in this waterway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1719,"template":"","newsletter-category":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mea.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newsletter\/1720"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mea.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newsletter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mea.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/newsletter"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mea.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mea.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newsletter-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mea.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newsletter-category?post=1720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
