In the latest installment of the 2022 Island Lecture series, Matthew Hatvany, professor of Geography at Universit\u00e9 Laval in Quebec City, will share his research on his current project entitled \u201cAnticosti: Metropolitan Finisterre.\u201d

Two large islands lie at the heart of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Despite their relative proximity and comparable sobriquets, one \u201cGarden of the Gulf\u201d the other \u201cParadise Found,\u201d the similarities end there. It is the smaller of the two, Prince Edward Island, that realised provincial autonomy through the development and control of its human, agricultural, forest, and fish resources. The larger, Anticosti, experienced little internal development despite abundant resources, being purposely constructed by external decision makers as a Finisterre Insulaire or Land\u2019s End controlled and dependent upon metropolitan decision makers and investors to assure the well-being of its small population. While Anticosti is little known in Quebec or by its nearest neighbours in Atlantic Canada, the island is celebrated by the upper classes of distant North American and European metropoles as a natural paradise as well as an aspiring UNESCO heritage site for its unique fossil and sedimentary strata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
