The Best of Montréal & Québec City Just 05_170434 ch01.qxp 11/6/07 10:08 PM Page 4 1 The Best of Montréal & Québec City Just 10 years ago, something of a bleak mood prevailed in Québec province. It was driven by lingering recession and uncertainty over the future; it seemed possible that the province would choose to fling itself into independence from the rest of Canada. Lately, though, something else is going on. Ripples of optimism have become waves. The Canadian dollar, as every traveler will discover, has strengthened against its U.S. counterpart. In Montréal, a billion-dollar building boom has been filling up vacant lots all over downtown. Montréal has become a modern city in every regard, with skyscrapers in unexpected shapes and bright, noncorporate colors; a historic dis- trict that has been beautifully preserved; and a large area of artists’ lofts, boutiques, cafés, and miles of restaurants. Québec City, more traditional and more French, is replacing its former conservatism with an ever-expanding aura of sophistication. American and European travelers will likely find Montréal an urban near-paradise. The subway system, called the Métro, is modern and swift. Streets are safe. Montréal’s best restaurants are the equals of their south-of-the-border compatriots in every way, but 20% cheaper. Québec City, meanwhile, with its impressive location above the St. Lawrence River and its virtually unblemished Old Town of 18th- and 19th-century houses, looks French and is almost impossibly romantic and Continental-feeling—it’s unlike any city in North America. 1 Unforgettable Travel Experiences in Québec MONTREAL or more courses for a fixed price that is • Listen to Jazz: Downtown, Old only slightly more than the cost of an Town, the Latin Quarter, all over, this a la carte main course alone.

THE BEST OF MONTREAL & QUEBEC CITY Moments Romantic Québec City “Romance” is Québec City’s middle name. Every narrow street, leafy plaza, sidewalk café, horse-drawn calèche, pitched roof, and church spire breathes recollections of the provincial cities of the mother country. But to get the full Québec City treatment, amble those streets on a night of the full moon and find a bench on the Terrasse Dufferin. The river below will be the color of liq- uid mercury in the moon’s glow, and there will be more stars than you can ever remember seeing. Streaks of comets and music faintly heard from the boîtes in Lower Town are possibilities.

  • A Brief Historical Perspective of Urban Forests in Canada As Published in Histoires Forestières Du Québec, Hiver 2015 Vol
    Urban Forest Series, Volume I A Brief Historical Perspective of Urban Forests in Canada As published in Histoires forestières du Québec, Hiver 2015 Vol. 7, No 1, Pages 27-32 Michael Rosen, R.P.F. President, Tree Canada Introduction In recent years, a greater amount of interest has been in expressed in urban forests – partly as a result of increasing urbanization but also due to new threats including the invasive insect, emerald ash borer. This history reveals much about the country itself - the reluctance to move past the image of “hewers of wood” has made urban forestry a young “specialty field” within forestry in Canada. According to Dean (2015), European urban forests with their long lines of identical trees speak of the human control of na- ture while in North America, rows of street trees served to tame the wilderness as muddy frontier roads were “brought into line”. Others point to the “democratization of the automobile, densification, climate change and invasive insects” as powerful North American themes which pose the greatest threat to urban forests (Lévesque, 2014, p 6). Urban forests in Canada have been dominated by three themes: superficial support by the provincial and federal governments, individuals’ commitment to developing urban forests of excellence, and awareness and action fueled by natural disaster. Canada – the Urban People in a Forest Nation The world looks to Canada as a forest leader – and with good reason. With 417.6 million ha of forest (10% of the world) Canada leads in many of the standard, industrial forestry measures: “timber-pro- ductive forest land”, “allowable annual cut”, “area burned by forest fire”, and “area of certified forest”.

  • Plains of Abraham - Wikipedia
    Plains of Abraham - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plains_of_Abraham Coordinates: 46°47′59″N 71°13′15″W The Plains of Abraham (French: Plaines d'Abraham) is a Plains of Abraham historic area within The Battlefields Park in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. The land is the site of the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, which took place on 13 September 1759, but hundreds of acres of the fields became used for grazing, housing, and minor industrial structures.[2] Only in 1908 was the land ceded to Quebec City, though administered by the specifically created and federally-run National Battlefields Commission. The park is today used by 4 million visitors and tourists annually for sports, relaxation, outdoor concerts, and festivals. Plains of Abraham in summer Location Quebec City, Quebec, Canada Plains of Abraham Museum Coordinates 46°47′59″N 71°13′15″W Name and features Area 98 ha (240 acres)[1] History Established 17 March 1908 Recognition Governing body National Battlefields References Commission (Canadian External links Crown) The Plains of Abraham Museum serves as the park's information and reception centre. It features a multi-media exhibition about the siege of Québec and the 1759 and 1760 battles of the Plains of Abraham.[3] Other displays feature the history of the site through archaeological artifacts found in the park. Open year-round and located at 835 Wilfrid- Laurier Avenue, the museum serves as the starting point for tours and includes a gift shop. The plains are likely named after Abraham Martin (1589–1664), a fisherman and river pilot called The Scot.

Preserv- ing and developing a historical and urban site of this calibre remain the main goals of the NBC, which is strongly committed to sensitizing people to the park's importance in the history of the country and of Quebec City. It is at the root of Canadian history and the heart of important events in Quebec City. This site is where history and nature meet, a place for entertainment and relaxation, and also a special place for celebrations. Battlefields Park is a priceless historic and urban park, and its location near Old Quebec makes it a natural attraction where di- verse events can be held. This is why the NBC receives a great number of re- quests every year from different organizations for permission to occupy its grounds for various activities.

    Two Travelers in Eastern Canada Copyright 2000, by Bob and Elsa Pendleton Introduction This is not a travel guide, as it makes no attempt to be exhaustive, or to rate particular activities. Rather, it is a travel journal; we hope our observations may be of interest to prospective travelers, and invite comments from others who have been to the same places. Since a book like this necessarily reflects the background and biases of its writers, let us briefly define ourselves. We were born in 1937, married in 1958, and retired in 1999. We had lived in seven states east of the Mississippi until 1970 and in Southern California thereafter, most recently in the Indian Wells Valley, in the Mojave desert. After retirement, we sold our house and began to travel full time. Our goals as travelers are primarily educational; we want to understand the areas we visit and their people. Our professional backgrounds include computer science, data management, French literature, law, librarianship, mathematics, naval operations analysis, and the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve. Our amateur interests include philology and reading. Neither of us is particularly athletic, although we enjoy walks, both in town and country. We have two children and three grandchildren. From June through August, 2000, we traveled through eastern Canada by car, staying in motels and occasionally a hotel. We entered New Brunswick from Maine, and have visited Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, eastern Quebec, and spent one night on the French island of St. Pierre. We read many books, fiction and non-fiction, to help us understand the region we were visiting.

  • 2002 JAM Program
    WELCOME to the FIRST JOINT INTERNATIONAL MEETING As an attendee of the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA), American Society of Animal Sci- ence (ASAS), and the Canadian Society of Animal Science (CSAS) joint meeting, you will be partici- pating in the first joint meeting of CSAS with ADSA or ASAS and the first joint meeting of ADSA and ASAS outside the United States. We could not have selected a more charming place than Québec City with its culture, architecture, and history to embark on these “firsts.” Like the other firsts, the scientific program is second to none. There were over 800 abstracts submit- ted for oral presentation (over 280 hours) in either scientific sessions or symposia. When you get tired of listening, you can continue learning by reading the more than 800 poster abstracts that will be displayed and visit the commercial exhibits. Thus, beginning on Saturday with the Joint EAAP- ASAS Workshop on Biology of Lactation in Farm Animals and ending with abstracts at 11:45 AM on Thursday, there are 124 total hours of time in which you can participate in over 280 hours of presen- tations, read hundreds of scientific abstracts, enjoy the charm of Québec City, and get a few hours of sleep. To highlight any symposia, invited papers, or particular scientific sessions is an injustice to all of the other cutting-edge, knowledge-leading opportunities available at this year’s meetings. Check out all of the latest information on symposia, scientific oral and poster sessions, plus the schedule of events on the website: www.fass.org/quebec02.
