Situated in the heart of historic tremblant village, on the shores of Lac Mercier and just minutes from the mountain, Hôtel Mont-Tremblant has been accommodating vacationers since 1902. Québec also has many provincial parks and wildlife reserves. Gaspésie Park and La Vérendrye Wildlife Reserve are noted fishing areas, while Laurentides, Tremblant, and Mount Orford provincial parks are popular resorts for skiing. The Cap Tourmente National Wildlife Area, near Québec City, attracts hundreds of thousands of snow geese in migration season. A Commonwealth of Nations Trade and Economic Conference was held in Montreal between September 15 and 26. It was attended by the finance and other ministers of all eleven nations comprising the Commonwealth. The conference grew out of a suggestion by the Canadian finance minister, Donald Fleming, during a meeting of Commonwealth finance ministers at Tremblant, Quebec, in September 1957. Considerable investigation and consultation not only at Tremblant but also at informal conferences of Commonwealth finance ministers in London during the summer helped to lay the groundwork for the Montreal meeting. It was recalled that, without such preliminary work, the results of the former Commonwealth Economic Conference at Ottawa in 1932 had been meager. Ernie McCulloch of Tremblant, Que., won the open downhill event, dropping from an elevation of 4,600 ft. for 1¾ mi., to the valley, 2,500 ft. below, in 2 min., 16.7 sec. Dick Buek of Sun Valley Ski Club won the amateur A class in 2:20.2. There were three interesting ski books published in 1954: Twenty Years Along the Ski Trails by Girtrud and Frank Ellis; Modern Ski Systems by Hans Georg; and The Tremblant Story by John and Frankie O'Rear. This meeting, held at Tremblant, Quebec, was attended by all the finance ministers of the Commonwealth. Its published report of October 1 indicated that in addition to a discussion of means of strengthening the pound sterling, the meeting gave its chief attention to the promotion of Commonwealth trade. It was decided to hold a Commonwealth economic conference during 1958. At the close of the conference there were discussions in Ottawa between Peter Thorneycroft of the British exchequer and Canadian cabinet ministers on the implications of Canada's new policy to shift 15 per cent of current buying from the United States to the United Kingdom. On July 1, in a Dominion Day address, Mr. Diefenbaker stressed the need for strengthening Commonwealth trade ties, and advocated an early trade and economic conference to explore trade and capital investment within the Commonwealth, and later he expressed the hope that 15 per cent of Canada's purchases could be diverted from the United States to the United Kingdom. The final communiqué invited the finance ministers to meet in Canada in September. At these meetings, held at Tremblant, Que., September 28-October 1, the Canadian proposal for a full dress trade and economic conference in 1958 was agreed upon. These talks were followed by further Anglo-Canadian trade negotiations in Ottawa. In September, Surtees won the 110-mile International Gold Cup race for formula I cars in Oulton Park, England, and the next afternoon he won the Player's Quebec international sports car race at Tremblant. Five days later, however, he was seriously injured during practice for the Canadian Grand Prix. Surtees recovered but did not race the rest of the year. In 1938, Joseph Bondurant Ryan, an American adventurer of Irish background, fell in love with majestic Tremblant. Born in 1906, his love of the wilderness and of travelling was apparent at a young age. His world travels took him to European mountain resorts, where he acquired an interest in ski resort development. Returning to Tremblant in 1938 proved to be quite a revelation for Joe. What started out as a simple excursion to climb Tremblant turned into a life-altering experience. Armed with tireless perseverance and flair, he transformed Tremblant into a first-class ski resort.

George Wheeler, an astute businessman from Chazy, New York, arrived in St-Jovite in the late 1890s. The beauty and promise of prosperity he encountered upon his arrival was enough for him to invest in a sawmill on Lake Ouimet. George Wheeler's lumber business developed favourably, and life went on happily until a fire destroyed his home in 1900. Sensing a rise in tourism, and wishing to stay in St-Jovite, Wheeler and his wife Lucille turned their family estate into a ten-room inn. This was the birth of Gray Rocks Inn. When he died, he left his business to his two sons, Tom and Harry. Gray Rocks Inn still prospers today. In 1888, Fridtjof Nansen carried out a brave, bold and successful Arctic expedition. Faced with a thousand dangers, Nansen crossed the Greenland ice cap on skis. Word of his exploits reached North America and started a revolution in the history of skiing. When Joseph Ryan began building his ski resort in 1938, the person he chose to supervise the development of ski runs and the construction of the resort was Kare Nansen, a man with extensive knowledge of skiing and ski resorts. Kare was the son of one of the greatest Polar explorers of all time, the Norwegian Fridtjof Nansen. The journey from regular resort visitor to proud homeowner was made possible by the friendly, knowledgeable Sales Associate who was there for Sylvie throughout the entire process. “We were very well informed by Michel Naud, our Sales Rep. If ever I had a question, I could email him at any time and he would answer promptly or refer me to someone who could. When we bought our home, we knew exactly what to expect. There were no surprises.”
