Shrines, basilicas, museums, churches, cemeteries, ways of the Cross and temples of numerous denominations will reveal their secrets to you. As well as these well-known religious institutions, you’ll dis- cover several unique, important secular sites that have their own deep spiritual nature. You’ll encounter noteworthy communities and individuals, and have a chance to contemplate and reflect while communing with nature. The hectic pace of modern life and the stress that comes with it are causing more and more people to travel in search of emotional balance. Spiritual and religious tourism is part of this trend, proposing destinations where travellers can reflect and recharge. Naturally, this is far from an exhaustive list of the profusion of religious sites in Québec, but it aims to guide the visitor towards inspiring, uncommon and authentic experiences. Each of Québec’s five national shrines—Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal, the Saint-Anne-de-Beaupré Shrine, the Ermitage Saint-Antoine de Lac-Bouchette, the Our Lady of the Cape Shrine and the Notre-Dame de Québec Basilica-Cathedral—occupies an important place in the book. These venerable sites, acknowledged worldwide for their rich herit- age and their vocation as pilgrimage destinations, are the jewels of Québec’s spiritual, historic and architectural heritage and deserve to be explored step by step and in great detail. The other journeys in this guide will lead you to all four corners of Québec. Just as France has its châteaux, so Québec has its churches! These tours shine a light on the many artistic masterpieces found in these religious and spiritual sites, many of them set amid Québec’s breathtaking natural beauty. Treasuries of ancestral skill and craftsmanship, they are magnificently ornamented with sculptures, stained glass, woodwork, paintings, gold and silverware, embroid- ery and musical instruments—marvels that bear witness to the creativity and ingenuity of Québec artists and artisans over the centuries. 8 Spiritual and Religious Journeys in Québec… Inspiring Places Our Lady of the Cape of Pilgrimage Shrine in Trois-Rivières, the second largest place of devotion to the Virgin Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré Shrine, a major place of Mary in North America worship in Québec’s spirit- (p. 118) ual and religious tradition, Oratoire Notre-Dame- dedicated to the venera- du-Mont-Saint-Joseph in tion of the Virgin Mary’s Carleton-sur-Mer, built on mother (p. 157) a site with a long tradition of worship (p. 244) Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal in Mont réal, Sanctuaire du Sacré-Cœur a majestic place of pilgrim- de Beauvoir in Sherbrooke, age and the world’s largest a major pilgrimage site shrine dedicated to Saint perched on the summit of a Joseph (p. 46) mountain in an exceptional forest setting (p. 93) © iStockphoto.com/Jeja 9 Opportunities to Oka Calvary (Calvaire Must-See Monuments Commune with Nature d’Oka), an 18th-century pilgrimage site inside Notre-Dame Basilica of the Parc National d’Oka Ermitage Saint-Antoine Montréal, a treasre trove de Lac-Bouchette, nestled (p. 99) of religious art that plays a fundamental role in deep in the heart of the Montréal Botanical Gar- promoting and preserving boreal forest (p. 188) den, a vast green space in Montréal’s Catholic herit- the midst of hectic urban Jardin des Ursulines age (p. 21) in Roberval, a restful, life (p. 63) enchanting spot on the Mary Queen of the World Parc National du Fjord- shores of Lac Saint-Jean Cathedral in Montréal, a du-Saguenay, where a (p. 209) lavish one-third-scale rep- hiking trail leads to statue lica of Saint Peter’s Basilica of Notre-Dame du Sague- Parc National du Bic, a in Rome (p.

  • Community Perspectives of Wellness in Manawan, an Atikamekw First Nation Community in Quebec, Canada: a Community-Based Participatory Research
    Community Perspectives of Wellness in Manawan, an Atikamekw First Nation Community in Quebec, Canada: A Community-Based Participatory Research Sonia Périllat-Amédée School of Human Nutrition, McGill University, Montreal April 2020 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Sciences Sonia Périllat-Amédée, April 2020 © Abstract Background: In 2018, the First Nation Atikamekw community of Manawan, in Quebec, participated in a Community Mobilization Training for the promotion of healthy lifestyles. Enhancement of community wellness was chosen as one of the measures to determine the impact of the community mobilization process. Wellness assessments tools tend to focus on measuring wellness at individual levels. Indigenous Peoples understand wellness wholistically and centered on social and natural relationships, and on community, thus wellness assessment should also be centered around these dimensions. Objectives: This research aimed to characterize concepts of wellness from youth, intervention workers, and Elders that could serve for community-specific wellness assessment. Methods: This community-based participatory research project employed concept mapping of wellness statements, which were generated through Photovoice with youth (n=6) and talking circles with intervention workers (n=9) and Elders (n=10). A final set of 84 wellness statements was selected and refined. Participants sorted each statement into thematic groups and rated them based on the priority of addressing the statement and the feasibility of implementing it. Concept maps were created using Concept Systems Global Max software based on sorting proximity and ratings calculations. Participants discussed the results at in-person interpretation sessions and named the wellness concept thematic groups.

  • Allophones Build Communities in the Rest of Quebec
    More Allophones Calling Rest of Quebec Home: Numbers of persons whose mother tongue is neither English nor French rises sharply outside Montreal Jack Jedwab Executive Director Association for Canadian Studies February 10, 2009 Special for the Montreal Gazette For several years concerned with the overwhelming concentration of immigrants in Montreal, the government of Quebec has made efforts to encourage newcomers to settle in the regions outside of the province’s largest city. Its efforts may be bearing fruit judging by the results of the 2006 census. The combination of a slightly higher percentage of immigrants settling outside of Montreal in the rest of Quebec and the substantial increase in the numbers of immigrants admitted by the province since the beginning of the century has had an important impact on the demography of several regions. Indeed between 2001 and 2006 the increase has been so important that in several places the combined numbers of allophones surpassed the size of the anglophone population in areas with historically established English-speaking communities. In 1996 the headlines of major Quebec newspapers proclaimed that the number of mother tongie allophones in Montreal surpassed the number of anglophones. While in the rest of Quebec the number of anglophones still exceeded the number of allophones at the time of the 2006 census by now it is reasonably safe to assume that in the ROQ there are more allophones. As observed in the table below where there were more allophones than anglophones in 2001 (e.g. Baie-Comeau, Saguenay, Alma, St.Georges, Thetford Mines, Trois-Rivieres, Drummondville, Granby and Sorel) there are now more allophones.
