Lac Leamy, site of our present-day Casino, is named after Andrew Leamy, an early lumber
baron. Andrew employed hundreds of men in his lumber mills and on the log drives along
the Ottawa and Gatineau Rivers.

He first appears across the river in the Drouin records of Notre Dame Cathedral, in Bytown, in 1834.
These records are available through www.ancestry.ca. He was a popular best man at weddings of 
his workers and godfather for many families.
