Swing Through
Swing Through 20m Swing Through is an interactive agility garden that connects the user to Canada’s diverse landscape, as well as its major economic industry. The garden is a series of thirteen finished lumber posts that dangle from a large steel structure, creating “tree swings”. On the swings are climbing holds where visitors can use the holds to climb up and across the tree swings. Directly under the tree swings are thirteen colour-coordinated stumps that give the user an extra boost, if needed. The thirteen timber tree swings represent Canada’s ten provinces and three territories by using wood from the official provincial and territorial trees. Surrounding this structure of Canadian trees is a garden divided into thirteen sections displaying the native plants of each province and territory. This representative regional plantings encompassing the swings, creating a soft edge. 10m Swing Through allows visitors to touch, smell, and play with the various YT NT NU BC AB SK MB ON QC NL NB PE NS natural elements that make our country so green, prosperous and beautiful.

L'autécologie Du Listera Australis Lindl. Au Québec, Une Orchidée Rare De Nos Tourbières
LISE BOUDREAU L'AUTÉCOLOGIE DU LISTERA AUSTRALIS LINDL. AU QUÉBEC, UNE ORCHIDÉE RARE DE NOS TOURBIÈRES Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures de l'Université Laval dans le cadre du programme de maîtrise en biologie végétale pour l'obtention du grade de maître ès sciences (M. Sc.) FACULTÉ DES SCIENCES DE L'AGRICULTURE ET DE L'ALIMENTATION Université Laval, Québec OCTOBRE 2004 © Lise Boudreau, 2004 Résumé Le Listera australis est une endémique nord-américaine. La recherche de nouvelles occurrences sur le territoire québécois a permis de repousser la limite septentrionale connue de son aire de répartition jusqu'au Saguenay. Les 18 occurrences connues actuellement existantes totalisent environ 3000 tiges. La survie des populations est considérée fragile. Les bordures forestières minérotrophes semi-ouvertes des tourbières ombrotrophes et minérotrophes pauvres constituent l'habitat du Listera australis. La présence simultanée de l'Andromeda glaucophylla, du Larix laricina et du Maianthemum trifolium sur un tapis complet et sans relief de sphaignes, particulièrement les Sphagnum fallax et Sphagnum rubellum, indique des conditions propices à la présence du Listera australis. L'espèce + semble sensible à la concentration en ammonium (NH4 ) de l'eau de la tourbière. La phénologie, la croissance sympodiale et la reproduction végétative de l'espèce ont été observées durant une saison. Le rehaussement continuel du système souterrain comme stratégie d'adaptation à l'entourbement a été mis en lumière. 1 Remerciements Mes premiers mercis vont tout naturellement à mon directeur de recherche, Robert Gauthier du département de phytologie de l'Université Laval, pour m'avoir accordé sa confiance et accepté de me soutenir jusqu'au terme de cette aventure.
