Currie welcomed everyone to the CAPA and CHC joint morning session and conducted a round-table introduction. Motion: Moved by J. Gruszka and seconded by A. Skinner to accept the agenda as presented CARRIED President's Report Rob Currie Bienvenue à la ville du Québec. Je voudrais remercier nos collègues au Québec d'organiser ce qui promet d'être une excellente réunion. Welcome to Quebec City. This meeting will mark the end of my second two-year term as President of CAPA. To quote a former Prime Minister of Canada, “I will not be letting my name stand for re-election” but I will work closely with the transition team to assist the incoming President with the duties of the office. The last four years have been rewarding and I have enjoyed working with the dedicated committee chairs and our members who are responsible for making this organization so successful. The new President will need the full support of all CAPA members so the goals of our organization can be fulfilled. In the past, CAPA has not shied away from taking a leadership role in promoting and supporting apiculture in Canada and I hope that with your continued support for we will continue to do so in the future. One of CAPA’s objectives is to foster the dissemination of apicultural knowledge. In recent years we have been focusing on two major activities. The first which is now “well-established” is the development of a website, www.capabees.ca. This website has greatly increased the profile of our organization and is a great vehicle for enhancing our extension efforts. Adony is to be commended for his efforts in this area. I hope that all of you will continue to contribute material for the website when Adony calls upon you for your assistance in developing content. Our second major effort involves the revision of the disease publication. This is being carried out under the leadership of Steve Pernal. After some prodding from Steve, many of the revised sections were delivered to him this past summer. However, it is my understanding that additional sections material may still be outstanding. I would urge any of you that have committed to write a section(s) that is not yet complete to finish your revisions quickly so the revised publication can be sent to the printer. For those you who contributed sections, I thank you for your efforts. This publication has given our organization world-wide

  • LE CHEMIN DU ROY (1Re Partie)
    ENTRETIEN LE CHEMIN DU ROY (1re partie) Au début de la colonie, il n’existait pas de réseau routier, mis à part quelques sentiers, tels ce chemin de bois, dit grande allée ou grande ligne, qui reliait dès 1650 la pointe ouest du Cap-aux-Diamants et Cap-Rouge1. Pour se déplacer, on utilisa d’abord la route fluviale, puis des chemins de grève, tracés sur terre battue à 12 mètres environ en deçà de la ligne des plus hautes marées, conformément à cette ordonnance du Conseil souverain, datée du 13 mai 1665 : …il est nécessaire que les clotures… soient… apposées à deux perches au dessus des plus haultes marées… pour la liberté tant du passage des charrettes et bestiaux que de la navigation. Enjoinct à toutes personnes de reformer celles qui sont plus que les dites deux perches… à peyne de tout despens d’hommages et intérests et mesmes d’amendes… Durant plus de 80 ans, des charrettes tirées par des bœufs puis des chevaux franchiront ces routes rudimentaires, ancêtres du chemin royal. Nous ne croyons pas faire fausse route en prétendant, comme plusieurs auteurs, que l’actuelle route 138 sur la rive nord du fleuve suit, dans son ensemble, le parcours original du chemin du Roy, sauf lorsqu’on a dû bifurquer par l’intérieur des terres. À l’origine, cette voie de communication fut entreprise sous l’impulsion de quelques grands voyers, à qui fut conférée la charge des voies publiques. LES GRANDS VOYERS L’office de grand voyer est attribué en 1657 par la Compagnie des Cent-Associés à René Robineau (de Bécancour).

  • Spiritual Gastronomy in Québec
    SPIRITUAL GASTRONOMY TOUR The Province of Québec1 is the largest province in Canada and the second-most populous province of Canada, after Ontario. It is the only one to have a predominantly French- speaking population, with French as the sole provincial official language. Most inhabitants live in urban areas near the Saint Lawrence River between Montréal and Québec City, the capital. The name "Québec", which comes from the Algonquin word kébec meaning "where the river narrows". The history of Québec dates as far back as the discovery of Canada itself. It was indeed on her soil that Jacques Cartier, the envoy of the king of France, landed for the first time in 1534. Since the earliest days of New France in the 17th century, religion and public demonstrations of faith have been a vital aspect of Québec society. The conversion of the Amerindians and the spread of Catholicism throughout North America played a key role in the growth of this initially French and later British colony. Today, this centuries-old tradition is reflected in numerous places of worship, the guardians of Québec’s religious and cultural heritage. The province of Québec counts: 20 Roman Catholic cathedrals 19 Dioceses 4 National Shrines of Canada 2018 64 parishes 1995 269 parishes 2018 228 churches belong to parishes ▪ 46 churches were sold. 12 alienated churches belong to municipalities. ▪ 4 churches are closed to worship and ready to be sold. Since 1980 ▪ 8 churches are considered surplus to the cult ▪ 1 church destroyed by fire. 2018 14 000 priests, nuns 1961 more than 60 000 And we can go on with more information.
