Once a quaint French Ontarian farming village nestled along the South Nation River, Lemieux, Ontario, is now nothing more than a distant memory.Formerly located just an hour's drive east of Ottawa, the town's origins can be traced back to the mid-1850s, when it began as a service centre for the local lumber industry before transitioning into a farming hamlet.Though the community appeared stable on the surface, it was built on sensitive marine silts and clays, known as Leda clay, which were laid down during the Champlain Sea roughly 10,000 years ago.The 1993 Lemeiux landslide.
