In recent years, Library and Archives Canada (LAC) has introduced significant changes to its website, which has
left some long-time users facing challenges. This talk will guide you through the new site, highlighting key collections

naturalization and immigration records, and passenger lists from the ports of Quebec City and Montreal.
Whether you're a seasoned researcher or just beginning your genealogy journey, this session will help you make
the most of LAC’s evolving resources.
