The natural vegetation is as diverse as the city as it ranges from forests to grasslands. Trois-Rivieres is small city with much to offer.

Petite Nation des Algonquins (Little Nation of the Algonquin), lived on the north side of the Ottawa River below Allumettes Island (Morrison's Island), Québec, New France. They had close associations with the Jesuit missionaries. Most of the Weskarini Algonquin got baptized in Montréal, and the rest later at Trois-Rivières, as they separated from the rest of the Algonquin who continued up the Ottawa River.

the map are drawn to scale, the buildings depicted on the map are oversized for emphasis, and only the major Expo pavilions are depicted. The map is relatively easy to read. The Montreal expo of 1967 was spread out over four sections in the Saint Lawrence River: The Cité du Havre, Ile Sainte-Hélène, Ile Notre Dâme, and La Ronde .

normal amount of rain they usually get. The amounts of rainfall in Quebec caused some major rivers to rise about 10 centimeters in one night (Tang). Quebec has large waterways like the Gatineau and the Saint Lawrence rivers and, when they receive a very high amount of rainfall they will overflow. Since rivers flow down stream, they will flood regions in Quebec and Eastern Ontario. When streams and rivers rise because of the spring ice and snow melt they flood and the ground becomes saturated with
Irish people are known all over the world Ireland, and in the mid-1800s Ireland was an agricultural nation, populated by eight million persons who were among the poorest people in the Western World.
