In Their Own Voice: Stories and Songs from St. Paul's River

Thanks to a dear friend, Louise Abbott has reconnected with the Lower North Shore,  a remote region of Quebec that is close to her heart. In July 2022, she and Niels Jensen travelled to the village of St. Paul's River, an hour west of Blanc-Sablon, and spent nearly one month shooting stills and video footage for the Whiteley Museum. Louise then produced a multimedia project for the museum titled  In Their Own Voice: Stories and Songs from St. Paul's River.  It includes short films, texts, photos, illustrations, maps, and audio recordings.

Rural Route Communications would like to thank Garland Nadeau, our guide extraordinaire: Eileen Schofield and Pierce Nadeau, who provided us with production assistance and fresh seafood; Vito De Filippo, who worked so steadfastly and creatively throughout the post-production phase; Donna Sinclair and her MIA team members, who brought the project to life online; and the funders that made it all possible: MRC du Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, Desjardins Caisse Populaire Blanc-Sablon, and Coasters Association.
