May 27, 2026 - Day 147/365 A piece of history rig May 27, 2026 - Day 147/365

A piece of history right on our street.

H. Imbleau & Sons Foundry

The foundry's story began in the early 1860s when French-born moulder Luc Imbleau arrived in Renfrew. After gaining experience at the historic Forges du Saint-Maurice in Quebec and operating out of a local axe factory by the Bonnechere River, Imbleau established a dedicated foundry and moulding business on the south side of the river.

With the help of his industrious sons, the business steadily expanded. For five generations, the Imbleau family ran the foundry, specializing in cast-iron municipal infrastructure. 

Their cast-iron manhole covers lined the streets of Ottawa and numerous other cities across Canada, earning the company a reputation as a world leader in its niche. 

At the time of its closing in January 2012 due to shifting global market competition, it was recognized as North America’s oldest family-run foundry.

We have a love - hate relationship with this tree. It's beautiful in the spring, but then drops millions of little apples later in the year which get squished and fermented in the sun.

This is one of my favourite trees in our neighborhood during the Spring. It's a Saucer Magnolia tree. The thick, fleshy petals are actually edible and can be used in teas, pickled, or added to salads.

Looked out the window of our hotel this morning and this bulk carrier (Algoma Harvester) was leaving Montreal for Bay Comeau. So cool to see such a large ship moving closely past.
