  • Finding Art and History Among the Malls of Montreal's Underground City
    Finding art and history among the malls of Montreal's underground city MORGAN LOWRIE, THE CANADIAN PRESS 12.12.2016 | The atrium of the International Trade Center, which is one of many locations connected to the underground city network, is seen Friday, December 9, 2016 in Montreal.THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ryan Remiorz MONTREAL ­ A visit to the "underground city" is a top item in any Montreal tourism guide, although asking a resident for directions just might get you the tiniest roll of the eye. That's because to many Montrealers, the tunnels that connect the city's downtown subway stations with a series of malls, oøce buildings and universities are more a convenient way of getting around than a noteworthy destination in itself. But in this case, the tourists may just have it right, according to the author of a book about the pedestrian network. Ivan Drouin says Montrealers' nonchalance may be simply due to the fact it's such a part of their lives they may not understand what an achievement it is. "I've met Montrealers who worked downtown for 20 years and are surprised to learn about the underground city's diversity, its artwork, its stories and its history," said Drouin, who founded Kaleidoscope, a Montreal tour company that oúers guided visits of the network. The term "underground" is a misnomer, as many of the levels are actually above ground. Drouin describes it instead as a "protected pedestrian network" — a 32­kilometre series of tunnels and passageways that allow residents to have access to most major downtown destinations without stepping foot outdoors.

  • Take a Walk Through Time with Fairmont Hotels & Resorts
    FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS TAKE A WALK THROUGH TIME WITH FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS For more than a century, our hotels have been at the heart of it all, serving as places of occasion for their communities. The exhilarating events, memorable meetings, and defining moments that have taken place within our hallowed halls are fascinating and countless. A look at some of the more notable ones: 1885 Bermuda's The Fairmont Hamilton Princess opens its doors, making it the oldest hotel in the Fairmont collection. 1888 Canada's first grand railway hotel, The Fairmont Banff Springs opens, bringing to life the vision of General Manager and soon-to-be President of Canadian Pacific Railway, Sir Cornelius Van Horne. It’s not all joy though, as Van Horne is furious to discover initial hotel plans give the kitchen the magnificent views of the Bow Valley. A rotunda is soon built to give the view back to the guests. 1889 Britain's first luxury hotel, The Savoy, opens and pioneers a number of “firsts” for hotels, including “ascending rooms” (electric lifts), 24-hour room service through a “speaking tube” connected to the restaurant, and its own laundry service and postal address. 1890's Silver baron James Graham Fair purchases the land where Fairmont's namesake San Francisco hotel now resides, hoping to build a family estate. His daughters begin planning on “The Fairmont” as a posthumous monument. “Fairmont” combines the name of the hotel’s founding family with its exclusive location atop Nob Hill. 1890 Society hostess Lady de Grey gathers a group of female contemporaries to dine at London’s The Savoy, a strike for equality, making it socially acceptable for women to gather for meals in public without their husbands, and inspiring generations of ladies-who-lunch.

  • The German Presence in Quebec City
    The German Presence in the Quebec City Region Researched and compiled by Jacques Gagné [email protected] Last updated: 2016-01-05 1 Map of Quebec City and surrounding area 2 Ursuline Convent and Chapel Quebec City Saint Michael Church Sillery Holy Trinity Church Quebec City 3 The German Presence in the Quebec City Region Researched and compiled by Jacques Gagné [email protected] Last updated: 2016-01-05 Centuries after Hans Bernhard settled in New France, 100,000 people in Québec claim German origins. They may be Francophone descendants of mercenaries in the 18th century or Anglophone immigrants of the 1950s. In the 1980s, after a long period of official downplaying of the presence of the Germans, some German-Canadian leaders fought for recognition of the German contribution to a multicultural Canada. Many German-Quebecers took over this discourse, but some refused the idea of a German ‘founding people’ and insisted on the distinct role of their Francophone society. Furthermore, even in Canada, post-war immigrants had to come to terms with the German past; the victimisation often characterized the German- Canadian press, since readers many, of whom lived in Québec often were expellees of the German ‘eastern territories’ and the few exiles often chose to stay invisible. Thus for its citizens of German heritage, Québec became the place of encounter of several competing identity discourses, whether it was about the role of Francophones in Canadian history or about the role of Germans.

  • Topic Sheets REGION LAND TRANSPORTATION
    REGION QUEBEC AND LÉVIS Topic Sheets © Dominique Baby The cities of Quebec and Lévis are part of the Communauté métropolitaine de Québec (CMQ), which includes a total of 28 municipalities. These two cities represent 85% of the total population of the CMQ which numbers 751 990 inhabitants in all. The special feature of this region is that it is divided by the St. Lawrence River, a natural barrier crossed by 35% of the residents of Lévis daily as they go to work in Quebec City! In 2006, 80% of the active population active of the CMQ travelled to work by car. More specifically, 5% 1 of the population of Lévis and 10% 2 of the population of Quebec used shared transportation for these trips. Did you know that ridership on the Réseau de transport de la Capitale (RTC) increased from 37.5 to 45.6 million pas - sengers between 2004 and 2008, an increase of more than 20% ? LAND TRANSPORTATION Before the construction of the Quebec Bridge, it was necessary to take a ferry or wait for the winter to cross the St. Lawrence, when an ice bridge joined the two shores. Quebec’s two bridges were built at the narrow - est point of the river, about 10 km upstream from Old Quebec . The name “Quebec” comes from the Algonquin word “kebec,” which means “where the river narrows.” THE QUEBEC BRIDGE From the time that construction began in 1904, the bridge collapsed twice, before finally being opened in 1919. Some debris from the bridge can still be seen today at low tide.

Promotional drawing of the Chateau Laurier Hotel, Ottawa, showing (left to right) the Parliament Buildings, Post Office, Chateau Laurier Hotel, and Central Union Passenger Station. Artist unknown, ca. 1912. (Ottawa City Archives, CA7633) Figure 1 (right). Chateau Frontenac Hotel, Quebec City, 1892-93; Bruce Price, architect. (CP Corporate Archives, A-4989) TX ~h the construction of the Chateau Frontenac Hotel in 1892-93 on the heights of r r Quebec City (figure 1), American architect Bruce Price (1845-1903) introduced the chateau style to Canada. Built for the Canadian Pacific Railway, the monumental hotel estab­ lished a precedent for a series of distinctive railway hotels across the country that served to as­ sociate the style with nationalist sentiment well into the 20th century.1 The prolonged life of the chateau style was not sustained by the CPR, however; the company completed its last chateauesque hotel in 1908, just as the mode was being embraced by the CPR's chief com­ petitor, the Grand Trunk Railway. How the chateau style came to be adopted by the GTR, and how it was utilized in three major hotels- the Chateau Laurier Hotel in Ottawa, the Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg, and the Macdonald Hotel in Edmonton -was closely related to the background and rise to prominence of the architects, Montreal natives George Allan Ross (1879-1946) and David Huron MacFarlane (1875-1950). According to Lovell's Montreal City Directory, 1900-01, George Ross2 worked as a draughtsman in the Montreal offices of the GTR, which was probably his first training in ar­ chitecture, and possibly a consideration when his firm later obtained the contracts for the GTR hotels.
