Good stuff! I grew up in the Assiniboine valley, further downstream on the banks of the Assiniboine river from Fort Ellice. A section of the oxen cart trail between Fort Ellice and Fort Montagne a la Bosse ran through our property.

Lived in St. Lazare Manitoba from 1946 to around 1955 This was a village of 300 at the time. My dad Leo Mazerolle and mother Theresa along with me and my brother Maurice had moved from New Brunswick to help Amedee Vermette with a grocery store and bakery. Also in the mix was my aunt Jeanne and Uncle Eugene. The most fascinating thing were the amount of Foulliards and Chartiers. Enjoyed swimming at the Beaver Dam. I see that there are still Foulliards...nice to see that? Had a very interesting few years there. ❤❤

People might be interested to know that a good sized chunk of the land containing at least one of the Fort Ellice sites has been purchased/donated to Nature Conservancy Canada and thus is now basically open to the public. Cheers

A lidar drone scan would capture the foundations of those missing buildings and then you could plant markers around the area.

Yeah alot has happened there over the years. Grandma’s told me about the Pioneers day celebrations ,(August long weekend) that happened at the site of the fort. There were up to 7 or 9 baseball diamonds, beer gardens, cook shacks, bathrooms and even a spring fed cement kiddy pool where all built there in the 50s and 60s. They had quite the show, even had flyovers from the snowbirds and paid for black baseball players from the southern US come up to play in the tournament. The Fouillard’s had connection and money back then to put on such an event.

I dated a young Fouillard woman about 50 years ago and she took me to St. Lazare for a visit. I caught some trout in Beaver Creek. I didn't see this monument.
