About	This is a picture of the Jacques Cartier Bridge in Montreal. I took this picture in the beginning of the evening. During its construction, the structure was known as the "the South Shore Bridge" or the "pont de la Rive-Sud" until the official opening on May 24, 1930. At it's inauguration, the bridge was named the "Harbour Bridge" or "pont du Havre" since it was built under the auspices of the Commissioners. Some 4,000 members of the elite from across Canada attended the ceremony. A large crowd filled the pavilion and St. Helen's Island as well. On June 23, 1934, the Commissioners acceded to public demand as expressed in a petition started by Georges Pelletier, editor of Le Devoir, and adopted a resolution recommending to His Excellency the Governor General in Council that the "Harbour Bridge" be named the "JACQUES CARTIER BRIDGE" in tribute to the explorer who discovered Canada in 1534. It was also a way to mark the 400th anniversary of the discovery of Canada. On June 30, 1934, a Departmental Order approved the resolution. (Ref. from Société Gestion et Entretien des Ponts)
