  • 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).

Some of the waste from these operations, in the form of quartz tailings, was used as bal­ last when the Sault Ste. Marie branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway was built in 1887. Due to the primitive concentrating process used, these tailings contained a significant amount of residual copper and some precious metals and, one day, Can­ adian Pacific Limited may find it worth­ while to mine this part of CP RAIL's own roadbed. Back in 1898, two new copper mining concerns appeared at the "Bruce", one at the town and the other at Rock Lake, some ten miles to the north. Bruce Copper Mines Limited, the "town" company, spent large sums of money on surface installations, like a stamp mill for crushing ore, a coal dock and over a mile of railway to connect mill and mine and dock. Rock Lake Mining Company also erected expensive facilities above ground, the most impressive being a huge mill on the shores of Rock Lake, about two miles from the mine. A standard-gauge railway was built to connect the two sites. The mill's production was to be sent to a smelter in Michigan for refining and, in order to transport it out of Rock Lake, the Bruce Mines and Algoma Railway Company ~as chartered in 1899 to build north to Rock Lake from a point (junction) on the Canadian Pacific's Sault Branch.

  • Take a Walk Through Time with Fairmont Hotels & Resorts
    FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS TAKE A WALK THROUGH TIME WITH FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS For more than a century, our hotels have been at the heart of it all, serving as places of occasion for their communities. The exhilarating events, memorable meetings, and defining moments that have taken place within our hallowed halls are fascinating and countless. A look at some of the more notable ones: 1885 Bermuda's The Fairmont Hamilton Princess opens its doors, making it the oldest hotel in the Fairmont collection. 1888 Canada's first grand railway hotel, The Fairmont Banff Springs opens, bringing to life the vision of General Manager and soon-to-be President of Canadian Pacific Railway, Sir Cornelius Van Horne. It’s not all joy though, as Van Horne is furious to discover initial hotel plans give the kitchen the magnificent views of the Bow Valley. A rotunda is soon built to give the view back to the guests. 1889 Britain's first luxury hotel, The Savoy, opens and pioneers a number of “firsts” for hotels, including “ascending rooms” (electric lifts), 24-hour room service through a “speaking tube” connected to the restaurant, and its own laundry service and postal address. 1890's Silver baron James Graham Fair purchases the land where Fairmont's namesake San Francisco hotel now resides, hoping to build a family estate. His daughters begin planning on “The Fairmont” as a posthumous monument. “Fairmont” combines the name of the hotel’s founding family with its exclusive location atop Nob Hill. 1890 Society hostess Lady de Grey gathers a group of female contemporaries to dine at London’s The Savoy, a strike for equality, making it socially acceptable for women to gather for meals in public without their husbands, and inspiring generations of ladies-who-lunch.

  • 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.
