Every summer my Grandparents would take my sisters...

Every summer my Grandparents would take my sisters and I for holidays on Beausoleil Island in Georgian Bay. The Martyr Shrine was a large white church on a hill that we would pass on the way to Beausoleil Island. We would always want to visit the church so one day our mother decided to take us. We were very young so it was really difficult to climb the many stairs up to the Grand Entrance of this very beautiful Shrine. When I entered I was really surprised at what I found inside. It was nothing like I had imagined. It was a definite learning experience into the history of Canada, Religion, Medicine, Politics and even the Sacrifices of this Great Nation. It was definitely an interesting and unforgettable learning experience that I have always cherished. I have been back a couple of times in my life, my favourite was when I brought my daughter for the first time. She loved it too and enjoyed the visit. There have been many additions to the Shrine since I first visited, but there are still so many adventures to see and learn here. The movie Black Robe was created to show the lives of all of the Martyrs that died that this church commemorates.
