Official Name
During its construction, the structure was known as the "the South Shore
Bridge" or the "pont de la Rive-Sud” until the official opening on May 24,
1930. At it's inauguration, the bridge was named the "Harbour Bridge” or
"pont du Havre" since it was built under the auspices of the

Commissioners. Some 4,000 members of the elite from across Canada
attended the ceremony. A large crowd filled the pavilion and St. Helen’s
Island as well.
Changing of the Official Name (September 1st, 1934)
On June 23, 1934, the Commissioners acceded to public demand as
expressed in a petition started by Georges Pelletier, editor of Le Devoir, and
adopted a resolution recommending to His Excellency the Governor
General in Council that the "Harbour Bridge" be named the "JACQUES
CARTIER BRIDGE" in tribute to the explorer who discovered Canada in
1534. It was also a way to mark the 400th anniversary of the discovery of
Canada. On June 30, 1934, a Departmental Order, bearing the number
P.C. 1358, approved the resolution.
