Generations of French & English Canadians, who now live on the U.S. side of the border, are joining in the celebration this Canada Day. Tens of thousands of families in the North Country have Canadian roots. But as the years pass, so have many of the cultural traditions. That’s why several families living along the border now gather a few times a year to celebrate and preserve their heritage. One of those recent gatherings was at the Samuel de Champlain History Center in Champlain, New York.
