To facilitate the report’s comprehension, we have included highlights at the beginning of each chapter. The geographical distribution of Québec’s forests is based on the new map of vegetation zones and bioclimatic domains and the accompanying definitions. We have also devoted an entire section to lands with special status (parks, reserves, controlled zones and outfitting oper- ations), updated the map of the government’s administrative regions, integrated the map of common areas and the new map of regional private forest development agencies, and added the maps and production schedule for the 3rd inventory program (1995-2002) in the section discussing types of ownership and surveyed zones. The section on forest fires has been completely overhauled, and now contains maps illustrating burned sites, changes in the fire regime and sensitive areas based on fire frequency. The remaining data has been presented in relation to the two protection zones, namely intensive and restricted. We have also included a new chapter on sustainable development. It discusses the six criteria underlying sustainable development, the distribution of protected areas and the plant and ani- mal species designated threatened or vulnerable. The chapter on forest management includes a new section on forest management that inte- grates wildlife, the number of penalty records and the fines levied. In the section on forest dues, we have indicated average Québec-wide unit rates by species and grade. 3 Début ang.qx 9/14/99 11:17 AM Page 4 NOTE Readers wishing to use data contained in this publication should bear in mind the changes affecting some of the tables illustrating statistical trends.

  • AC Buchanan and the Megantic Experiment
    A. C. Buchanan and the Megantic Experiment: Promoting British Colonization in Lower Canada J. I. LITTLE* Between 1829 and 1832 a British settler colony was established on the northern fringe of Lower Canada’s Eastern Townships, in what became known as Megantic county. The main aim of the chief instigator and manager of the project, “emigrant” agent A. C. Buchanan, was to demonstrate the viability of state-assisted “pauper” colonization, as long advocated by Colonial Under- Secretary Robert Wilmot-Horton. Buchanan’s project was successful insofar as he convinced over 5,300 immigrants, the majority of whom were Irish Protestants, to follow the Craig and Gosford roads to the uninhabited northern foothills of the Appalachians. But the British government failed to apply this “experiment” elsewhere in Lower or Upper Canada, and the British settler community did not expand far beyond the townships of Leeds, Inverness, and Ireland because of their isolation from external markets. Instead, French-Canadian settlers moved into the surrounding townships, with the result that the British-origin population became a culturally isolated island of interrelated families that slowly disappeared due to out-migration. De 1829 à 1832, une colonie de peuplement britannique a vu le jour au Bas- Canada, en périphérie nord des cantons de l’Est, dans ce qui deviendra le comté de Mégantic. L’instigateur et chef du projet, l’agent d’émigration A. C. Buchanan, avait pour objectif premier de prouver la viabilité, avec le soutien de l’État, de la colonisation par les « pauvres » que préconisait depuis longtemps le sous- secrétaire aux Colonies Robert Wilmot-Horton.

THE CANADIAN HANDBOOK AND TOURIST'S GUIDE. INTRODUCTION. The Nooks and Corners of Canada, and. more especially of the Lower Province, in addition to the interest they awaken as important sources of Commercial and Agricultural wealth, are invested with no ordinary attraction for the Naturalist, the Antiquary, the Historian, and the Tourist in quest of pleasure or of health. We have often wondered why more of the venturesome spirits amongst our transatlantic friends do not tear themselves away, even for a few months, from London fogs, to visit our distant but more favoured clime. How is it that so few, comparatively speaking, come to enjoy the bracing air and bright summer skies of Canada ? With what zest could the enterprising or eccentric among them undertake a ramble, with rod and gun in hand, from Niagara to Labrador, over the Laurentian Chain of Moun- tains, choosing as rallying points, whereat to compare notes, the summit of Cape Eternity in the Saguenay district, and 6 Introduction.

This Learning and Evaluation Situation should only be considered after the period of Canadian society in New France around 1745 has been taught and evaluated. This is because this LES demands a certain amount of prior historical knowledge of this period. 2. The LES emphasizes Competency 2 by the very nature of its title, although the other two competencies are also present. 3. The heading of each unit consists of one or two guiding questions. The students are expected to answer these guiding questions after scaffolding has been done through a series of activities that continuously increase in difficulty and sophistication as they unfold. These guiding questions embrace the whole concept under discussion, so view them as complex tasks. 4. The evaluation tools are found at the end of this Teacher’s Guide. They are to be used at the teacher’s discretion. 5. The bibliography is unfortunately limited to everyday life during the periods in question. English works on societal change between 1745 and 1820 are nonexistent.

EARL, Minister P.-E. AUGER, Deputy Minister 4, THE MINING INDUSTRY OF THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC IN 1959 QUEBEC 1961 GM 67014 To the Honourable Paul W. Earl, Minister of Mines, Quebec, Que. Sir: I beg to submit herewith the report entitled "The Mining Industry of the Province of Quebec in 1959". This report contains a detailed account of mining operations and statistical data for the year 1959. This report has been prepared by the technical staff of the Department. The term "production", as used throughout this report, is synonymous with "quantity sold", "shipped" or "used", and does not necessarily represent "annual output". Unless otherwise noted, the ton specified in the text and tables of this report is that of 2,000 pounds. Values are given in Canadian funds. As it would be impractical to mention in this report all those who have contributed to the mineral production of the Province, a list of the "Principal Operators and Owners of Mines and Quarries in the Province of Quebec" is published separately and brought up to date when warranted by changes of names and addresses. In addition to this annual report on the mining industry, the Department issues a "General Report of the Minister of Mines" which deals mostly with administrative matters and covers the fiscal year ending on March 31st. In order to acquaint the public, as soon as pos- sible, with the state of the mining industry, the Department publishes at the beginning of each year an interim report summarizing the progress made by the industry during the year just ended.

Monsieur le Ministre : J'ai l'honneur. de vous transmettre le premier volume d'un ouvrage intitulé "La Géologie de Québec". Ce volume est une bibliographie, aussi complète que possible, de tous les écrits qui ont été publiés sur la géologie et les richesses minérales de la province de Québec. Il est divisé en deux parties, la première est une liste alphabétique des auteurs, et la seconde, un index des sujets. Deux autres volumes, qui sont en préparation, complèteront l'ouvrage. L'un présentera une vue d'ensemble de la géologie générale et de la tectoni- que de la province ainsi que des traits topographiques qui sont une ex- pression de son histoire géologique. L'autre volume traitera surtout des gisements minéraux. Ces deux volumes seront, dans une grande mesure, une compilation et coordination de la multitude de données fragmentaires sur la géologie et les gttes minéraux de la province de Québec qui sont dispersées et épar- pillées dans les nombreux rapports officiels des gouvernements fédéral et provincial, ainsi que dans les travaux, communications et articles parus dans les comptes rendus de sociétés scientifiques et dans les publications techniques.
