dc.descriptionRepresentation of the cross erected by Jacques Cartier in 1536 (erected 1888, with neon lighting added 1984); A National Historic Site of Canada, so designated by the Historic Sites and Monuments board of Canada in 1958 under the recommendation of John Diefenbaker, the Prime Minister of Canada at the time. It is administered by Parks Canada and located at the confluence of Saint-Charles and Lairet rivers. The site commemorates the second voyage of Jacques Cartier; in 1535-1536 he and his shipmates wintered near the Iroquoian village of Stadacona (Quebec City). It also recalls the establishment of the first residence of the Jesuit missionaries in Quebec, in 1625-1626, under Father Jean De Brébeuf. The developed site opened in 1972, with the opening of the Interpretation Center and installation of educational signage and exhibits. The park maintains an area of natural habitat; a cycleway and the Linear Park of Saint-Charles River also cross the park’s ground.
