Missionary Bishop Grouard and the North’s Founding Spirit
A northern settlement guide frames Grouard as the region’s spiritual and civic pioneer. Emile Grouard, a 49 year figure in Peace River history, founded Grouard, built the first mill and steamboat, chose the site, and shaped church and town growth. Now 77, he nears the golden jubilee of priesthood as tribesmen and settlers prepare large celebrations with church, industry, and railway interests coordinating the festivity.
