thumb|Shooting the Rapids, 1879 by Frances Anne Hopkins (1838–1919) Voyageurs (; ) were 18th- and 19th-century French and later French Canadians and others who transported furs by canoe at the peak of the North American fur trade. The emblematic meaning of the term applies to places (New France, including the and the ) and times where that transportation was over long distances, giving rise to folklore and music that celebrated voyageurs' strength and endurance.

Zellers is a former Canadian discount store chain, currently operating only one store location in Alberta, Canada. Originally founded by Walter P. Zeller in 1928 and closed two years later, it was relaunched in 1931. It was later acquired by the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) in 1978, and after a series of acquisitions and expansions, it peaked with 350 locations in 1999. However, fierce competition and an inability to adapt during the early stages of the retail apocalypse resulted in Zellers losing significant ground in the 2000s.
