The parishes Vieux Québec (Old Quebec) - Notre Dame Cathedral (1728 to 1818) – This church was founded in 1621. About 1728, under the French Regime, a few Irish, British or Scottish settlers were known to worship here. After 1760, under the British Regime, the cathedral served many Irish, Scottish and English parishioners. As of the 1820s, mass was celebrated in both English and French. Prior to the establishment of St. Patrick’s in 1833, Notre-Dame Cathedral, Notre-Dame de la Garde, Notre-Dame de Saint-Roch and Notre-Dame des Victoires were all known as Irish churches. http://www.patrimoine-religieux.com/en/our-churches/notre-dame-de-quebec-basilica- cathedral-/ http://www.originis.ca/paroisse_quebec_notre_dame.html http://www.leseglisesdemonquartier.com/923.html Quebec City’s Augustines - Hôtel-Dieu Hospital (Hôpital général de Québec) (1728) – From as early as 1639, this hospital run by nuns became the main civil and military hospital in New France. http://www.patrimoine-religieux.com/en/our-churches/quebec-city-s-augustines--hotel- dieu-hospital-/ https://www.journaldequebec.com/2017/06/07/325-ans-de-lhopital-general-de-quebec- les-augustines-dhier-a-aujourdhui-en-images https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:H%C3%B4pital- G%C3%A9n%C3%A9ral_de_Qu%C3%A9bec_Cemetery Haymarket Square (Lower Quebec) - Saint Patrick’s Day (1765) - The Quebec Gazette account of Saint Patrick’s Day events in 1765 read in part: "…besides the divine service, entertainment and toasts will be held at the tavern, followed on the Monday night by a ball." It appears that the festivities were held at Hugh Maguire’s Shamrock Inn near the Haymarket. This suggests that, by 1765, the Irish settlers in Québec City had grown into a substantial community. http://www.irishheritagequebec.net/the-celtic-cross/ http://collections.banq.qc.ca/ark:/52327/bs57093 https://archivesdemontreal.ica-atom.org/vieux-quebec-marche-champlain-edgar- gariepy-19 https://archivesdemontreal.ica-atom.org/uploads/r/ville-de-montreal-section-des- archives/1/c/a/1cac35671c907100bfcd319572375494864272efe7cbce31d9eb3e6fcc9 e6597/BM42-G2198_neg-ni.jpg Vieux Québec (Old Québec) - Chapel of the Congregationalists - Jesuit Fathers (1822) - Rev. Simon Lawlor, presiding. From about 1822 to 1826, church services for the Irish Catholics were held at the Congregational Chapel, then located within the walls of the Convent of the Jesuit Fathers on Esplanade Hill (d’Auteuil). Marriages, baptisms and burials were conducted at Notre Dame Cathedral. http://www.patrimoine-religieux.com/en/our-churches/jesuits-chapel/ https://www.google.com/search?q=Ville+de+Qu%C3%89bec+S%C3%A9minaire+des +J%C3%A9suites&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwipqZfs6LDfAh WsUt8KHXk7AU8Qs AR6BAgFEAE&biw=498&bih=491 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A9minaire_de_Qu%C3%A9bec https://archivesacrq.org/collections/bibliotheque-du-college-des-jesuites/ Vieux Québec (Old Quebec) - Notre Dame des Victoires (Diamond Harbour Chapel) (1824) – First organized in 1608 and located next to the Port of Quebec, in 1824, this parish became a separate congregation for the Irish immigrants. Father Patrick McMahon, presiding. Irish settlers supplied much of the labour on the docks and built many of Quebec’s best-known landmarks. The Irish called this church Diamond Harbour Chapel. Church registers are found in Notre Dame Cathedral records. http://www.patrimoine-religieux.com/en/our-churches/notre-dame-des-victoires-church/ http://www.originis.ca/paroisse_quebec_notre_dame_des_victoires.html http://www.leseglisesdemonquartier.com/927.html Sainte Foy - Notre Dame de Foy (1831) – First organized in 1679, this parish welcomed its first Irish parishioners in 1831. Rev. Henry Harkin, Rev. Alexander E. Maguire, presiding. The church burned down in 1977. Prior to that, it was the third focal point of the Irish community of Quebec City. The region of Sainte Foy, along with nearby Sillery and Cap Rouge, is still to this day, the bedroom community of the well-educated citizens. http://www.originis.ca/paroisse_quebec_notre_dame_de_foy.html http://www.leseglisesdemonquartier.com/985a.html Saint Roch Ward - Notre Dame de Saint-Roch (1831) – First organized in 1829, this parish welcomed its first Irish family in 1831. By 1851, the Irish population of Quebec City had climbed to 9100, an 800% increase over 30 years. Saint Roch Ward in Lower Quebec City became the home to the second largest community of Irish families in the area. Church registers can be found under Notre-Dame de Québec Cathedral. http://www.patrimoine-religieux.com/en/our-churches/st-roch-church/ http://www.originis.ca/paroisse_quebec_saint_roch.html http://www.leseglisesdemonquartier.com/925.html Vieux Québec (Old Quebec) - Notre Dame des Anges (1831) – First organized in 1728, this chapel was located within the Québec City Hospital (Hôpital Général) and, as such, it welcomed many of the new-born Irish children as early as 1831.

Organized for the special use of the Irish Catholic population by the celebrated Father Patrick McMahon. The first mass was celebrated on July 7th, 1833. In 1833, the number of parishioners of Saint Patrick numbered more than 6000. http://www.originis.ca/paroisse_quebec_saint_patrick.html http://www.leseglisesdemonquartier.com/938.html Haute Ville (Upper Town) - Cholera Burying Ground (1832) - The cemetery located on Grande Allée was opened during the year of the first cholera in 1832, and was in use until 1856. In 1832 alone, the cholera epidemic killed 3,451 individuals, the majority of whom were Irish. http://www.irishheritagequebec.net/digitalized-archives/quebec-city-irish-famine-relief- fund-contributors/ Québec (city) – St. Patrick’s High School (St. Pat’s) (1843) – Located on rue de Maisonneuve (De Salaberry Street) & McMahon Street. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Patrick%27s_High_School_(Quebec_City) https://www.cqsb.qc.ca/en/st-patrick-high-school https://www.ville.quebec.qc.ca/en/citoyens/patrimoine/quartiers/saint_jean_baptiste/int eret/irlandais_origine_quebec.aspx https://www.convention.qc.ca/en/events/175-st-patricks-high-school-reunion/ Vieux Québec (Old Quebec) - Saint Luke (Marine Hospital Catholic Mission) (1847) – Compared with other much larger hospitals of the region, Saint Luke appears to have been the hospital of the Irish community. In 1847, hundreds of Irish immigrants who had been deemed to be in good health at the Grosse IÎe Quarantine Station, downstream on the St. Lawrence River, were confirmed with the dreaded disease of the typhus. A substantial number of these Irish emigrants would succumb from this plague in various hospitals of the region including Saint Luke.

In an 1832 document prepared by the Immigration Agent at the Port of Québec, Beauport was listed as being a choice destination of would-be Irish settlers. I was able to ascertain that the first Irish marriage took place in 1854, which might indicate that Irish marriages, baptisms and burials were conducted at nearby Notre Dame Cathedral. http://www.patrimoine-religieux.com/en/our-churches/la-nativite-de-notre-dame-church/ http://www.leseglisesdemonquartier.com/843.html Sillery - Saint-Colomban of Sillery (Saint-Michael) (1855) - The second Irish Church in Québec City – Rev. Peter Henry Harkin, a priest from Ireland, was the first pastor of the new church from 1855. His successor, Father Alexander Eustace Maguire, requested and served as Pastor of the Catholic Mission at Grosse-Île in 1871. His uncle, Bishop E. J. Horan, served as pastor at the Island Mission in 1847. Father Maguire did not survive the ordeal of Grosse Île. The church no longer exists, it has been replaced by Saint-Michael of Sillery http://www.patrimoine-religieux.com/en/our-churches/st-michel-de-sillery-church/ http://www.originis.ca/paroisse_quebec_saint_michel.html http://www.leseglisesdemonquartier.com/1070.html Vieux Québec (Old Quebec) - Saint Brigid’s Home (1856) – An institution to help orphans, the destitute and the elderly. First organized in Old Quebec, in 1858 it moved to the vast plot of land occupied by the cholera cemetery at the corner of Grande Allée and Avenue de Salaberry. https://www.ville.quebec.qc.ca/en/citoyens/patrimoine/quartiers/saint_jean_baptiste/int eret/irlandais_origine_quebec.aspx http://www.leslabelle.com/Cimetieres/AfficherCim.asp?MP=F3&CID=1027 Champlain Ward – Chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help - The Irish Chapel - Notre- Dame de la Garde (1860) – Located from about 1860 in a former school for Irish boys, this chapel was located near the Port of Quebec, on Champlain Street. This church was the second home to many of the Irish dock workers. The region was also known as the Cove or Cap Blanc (White Cove) and the Irish referred to it as Champlain Ward. Many of the Irish workers of that region worked at the nearby Bell & Taylor Shipyards, building ships. The many wharves along the St. Lawrence River in Lower Town were the landing places of the immigrants between 1814 and the early 1920s. All marriages, baptisms and burials would have been carried-out at Saint Patrick or Notre Dame Cathedral.

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.

    THE ENGLISH (ATHEIRAL OF QUEBE}. READ BEFORE THE £iterary and jistorical $atitty, Quebec, 10th March, 1891, BY F RED. C. WUR TELE, ESQ. In writing the history of the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity of Quebec, it will not be out of place to give a short sketch of those good Monks and Friars of the order of St. Francis who were the former proprietors of the land on which the sacred edifice has been built. The mendicant order of Monks, called Franciscans, was founded in Spain, in the year 1208, by St. Francis d'Assisi.* Subsequently they spread into Italy and were introduced into France by St. Louis of Gonzaga. They were also called “Récollets,” from the latin word “Recollectus,” sig nifying “meditation” and also “gathering.” Their chief works were teaching, nursing the sick, and ministering to the poor, whose wants they supplied out of the donations and alms which they received. In fact their livelihood was obtained entirely by begging, performed by the “Frères Mineurs,” and so highly were they esteemed and beloved in old Canada, that the “habitants” would always transport free of charge the results of their begging expeditions from village to village and finally to the con vent in Quebec. The boatmen invariably were pleased to ferry them free across the St. Lawrence, * DeSalignac, 64 Samuel de Champlain relates, that “he was convinced of “the necessity of religious instruction to influence such of “the Indian population of Canada as might be induced to “turn to agricultural pursuits.” In this connexion he was directed by Sieur Louis Houel, at Brouage to apply to the General of the Order of Recollets.

    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.

PARADIS PRINTER TO HIS MAJESTY THE KINI; 1936 PREFATORY NOTE In the statistical tables, and in the review of the mining industry of the Province during the year, the term "production" is synonymous with "quantity sold, shipped, or used" and does not necessarily represent "out- put". The ore and other mineral products remaining as "stock on hand" at the end of the year are not included in the production figures. The ton used is, throughout, that of 2,000 lb., unless otherwise stated, and the year referred to is the calendar year, ending December 31st. Values are given in Canadian funds. The present report was preceded on March 6th by a statistical state- ment giving provisional figures of production, subject to revision. The figures in this volume supersede the provisional ones. The Annual Report of the Bureau of Mines for 1935 is published in several parts, of which this volume is Part A.

Research has identified 126 individuals who died in Internment Camps across Canada. It is believed that this number differs from the original 107 individuals who were recorded as dying in General Otter’s report as the number of 126 includes six children as well as all internees that died in Amherst. At this time it has not been determined for those who died in Amherst if they were internees from Canada or German prisoners of war.
