Quebec ranks first as a producer of hydroelectric power in North America. The first permanent European settlement in Canada was in Quebec, along the St. Lawrence River. There are many attractions in Quebec for tourists, including historical and art museums, along with outdoor attractions such as hiking, skiing, and canoeing. Music and art festivals are also very popular. A few of the many famous people from Quebec include Myriam Bedard, Joseph-Armand Bombardier, Maurice "Rocket" Richard, Jacques Villeneuve, Patrick Roy, Mario Lemieux, and Marc Garneau.

This series is intended to introduce to residents of the Province and to tourists some of the fundamentals of the long geologic history through which particular areas, and the Province as a whole, have passed before the present landscape or scenery was produced. Great lengths of time and great changes as time moved on are the essence of geologic history.

  • The National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa
    Q The National Gallery Galerie nationale of Canada, Ottawa du Canada, Ottawa A National Museum of Canada Un des Musees nationaux du Canada A Brief Introduction to the Work of Joseph Legare (1795-1855) By Robert Derome and Helen Clark, with the assistance of Peter Smith. The life and work of Joseph Legare are so rich, varied and complex that they are very difficult to present and summarize. We should begin with a brief biography. Legare was born in Quebec City in 1795. His parents, who began with modest means, rapidly rose to fair social prominence. The young boy's studies at the Seminaire de Quebec are not well documented. Thereafter, at the age of 17 in 1812, he was apprenticed as a painter­ varnisher to an obscure transient English-speaking artist. Seven years later in 1819, he himself took an apprentice, Antoine Plamondon, to help him in the restoration and copying of European religious works sold at auction by the two abbes Desjardins. Legare took this opportunity to acquire many of these works that subsequently formed the core of his personal collection. Copying allowed him both to perfect his painterly talents and to bring in revenue. He quickly achieved a financial stability that allowed him relative independance of an artistic clientele. His numerous properties also brought in a steady income. At the age of 33, in 1828, he painted the first history painting by a native born Canadian. The prize he won for this work, Massacre of Hurons by the Iroquois, encouraged him in this direction. He spent much time among the intellectuals and artistic elite in the learned societies of Quebec City at the time.

  • Alain Cloutier
    Developing a Wood Culture for Non-Residential Construction Alain Cloutier Wood Research Centre Université Laval Québec, QC, Canada Quebec Quebec City Background • Very little use of wood as construction material for non-residential buildings in Eastern Canada until recently; • Steel and concrete are mostly used; • Markets for Canadian lumber shrinked importantly since 2006. The development of new utilizations of wood is becoming strategical to maintain this industry; • Governmental policies were put in place in 2008 to favor the use of wood for non-residential buildings; • Laval University has been active over the last 10 years in promoting the use of wood in non-residential construction. Objectives 1. Describe the Quebec Government policies to promote the use of wood in non-residential construction; 2. Describe the actions of Laval University to promote the use of wood in non-residential construction. Methods Used to Promote Wood as a Construction Material Wood Use Strategy for Construction in Québec Published in 2008; Objective: Increase the use of wood for structural and appearance products in non-residential and multi-family construction by about 60% from 2006 to 2014; Courses of action: 1. The Quebec Government should lead by example using wood in its own buildings. Wood must be considered in all public building constructions in Quebec now; 2. Support innovation, develop tools to support designers and develop a wood culture in Quebec; Methods Used to Promote Wood as a Construction Material Beaulieu Commission • Launched in 2011, report submitted in February 2012; • Objective: Enquire on the reasons explaining the slow development of non-residential wood construction and recommend measures to correct the situation; • Recommendations: 1.

  • “The Invisible Admiral: Phillip Durell at the Siege of Quebec, 1759,”
    Invisible Admiral: Phillip Durell at the Siege of Quebec, 1759 Peter MacLeod Cet article examine le rôle du contre-amiral Philip Durell et de son escadron pendant le siège britannique du Québec en 1759. Après avoir manqué d’atteindre le fleuve Saint Laurent en temps util pour intercepter les bateaux d’approvisionnement français et après son succès en pilotant son escadron jusqu’aux amonts du fleuve à Québec, Durell a pris la commande des plus grands vaisseaux de guerre dans la flotte britannique et a mouillé à l’extrémité du sud de l’Île d’Orléans. Là, éloigné de l’action principale de la campagne, l’escadron de Durell a exécuté un rôle de soutien essentiel. Son escadron a guidé les transports portant des approvisionnements d’Amérique britannique à travers les risques de navigation du Saint Laurent, a mené et a soutenu des opérations mineures en aval de l’île, a envoyé des détachements en amont pour rejoindre la campagne amphibie, a réapprovisionné les vaisseaux de guerre du corps principal de la flotte, et a gardé contre toute intervention par les forces navales françaises. Rear-Admiral Phillip Durell never saw Quebec, but he did everything he could to bring about its fall. His story is a story of the battle behind the battle, performing tasks that needed to be done to support the sailors and soldiers who captured Canada’s colonial capital, tasks that were as necessary as they were unspectacular. When the British sailed for Quebec in 1759, Durell was out in front. Although contrary winds and ice in the Gulf of St.
