A documentary by a Lakehead University professor is getting some support from the province.
Dr. Ronald Harpelle is getting $38,000 for his film Le tireur d’élite.
It tells the story of Patrick Riel, who claimed to be the nephew of Louis Riel.
Patrick Riel worked in Shabaqua before leaving Port Arthur for Europe in 1914, going on to become one of Canada’s most celebrated snipers in World War 1. (File Photo)
