Canada/Ottawa, The statue of Samuel de Champlain!
He's known as "The Father of New France", was born on August 13, 1574. He was a French navigator, cartographer, draftsman, soldier, explorer, geographer, ethnologist, diplomat, and chronicler. He made more than 20 trips across the Atlantic, and founded New France and Quebec City on July 3, 1608. He is important to Canadian history because he made the first accurate map of the coast and he helped found the settlements.
