Chapitre 2 LA DESCRIPTION DU TERRITOIRE
Chapitre 2 – Description du territoire Chapitre 2 LA DESCRIPTION DU TERRITOIRE CHAPITRE 2 LA DESCRIPTION DU TERRITOIRE 2.1 LA SITUATION GÉOGRAPHIQUE Le territoire de la MRC de Rimouski-Neigette est situé sur la rive sud de l’estuaire Saint- Laurent au cœur de la région administrative du Bas-Saint-Laurent. L’agglomération urbaine de Rimouski, qui d’ailleurs représente le centre administratif de la région du Bas- Saint-Laurent se trouve à quelque 300 kilomètres à l’est de la ville de Québec. La MRC de Rimouski-Neigette est bornée au nord par l’estuaire Saint-Laurent, sur une distance approximative de 50 kilomètres, à l’est par la MRC de La Mitis, au sud par la frontière du Nouveau-Brunswick et à l’ouest par la MRC de Témiscouata à l’intérieur des terres ainsi que par la MRC Les Basques du côté du littoral (voir plan 2.1). La MRC de Rimouski-Neigette occupe une superficie totale de 2762 km2. D’une configuration quasi rectangulaire, elle couvre une distance d’environ 70 kilomètres dans l’axe nord-sud et d’environ 40 kilomètres dans l’axe est-ouest. 2.2 LES MUNICIPALITÉS ET LA DISPERSION DE LA POPULATION Le portrait municipal de la MRC a subi quelques changements depuis le début de la décennie. Tout d’abord, en 2001, le territoire non organisé du grand Lac Touradi a été annexé à la municipalité de Saint-Eugène-de-Ladrière. Son territoire passait donc de 191 km² à 355 km² pour devenir la municipalité occupant la plus vaste superficie de la MRC. -

Press Release for Immediate Release
Press Release For Immediate Release THE OTHER ROAD TRIP TO LABRADOR AND NEWFOUNDLAND Québec, April 18th, 2016. (Revised April 19th – Please note the corrected dimensions for carriage of automobiles) — For visitors planning a road trip to Newfoundland and Labrador, Québec’s Lower North Shore along the Gulf of Saint Lawrence offers an alternative route that is both novel and exotic in its own way. The Lower North Shore is some 750 kilometers of shoreline stretching east from Sept-Îles, Havre-Saint-Pierre and Natashquan to Blanc-Sablon, right up against Québec’s eastern land border with Labrador. A series of tiny villages are interspersed along this rugged coast between Natashquan and Blanc-Sablon. As there is no through road in the area, they all depend on the marine coastal supply ship the M/V Bella Desgagnés which operates each week bringing in supplies and providing passenger and vehicle transportation in the region. The vessel is owned by Relais Nordik Inc. The M/V Bella Desgagnés is a modern passenger-cargo vessel delivered in 2013. The vessel measures 97 metres in length and 19 metres in width. It offers 58 exterior passenger cabins (45 double occupancy and 13 quadruple occupancy), all featuring private toilet and shower facilities. The dining room seats 88 persons and the cafeteria 112. While the Bella Desgagnés is actually home-ported in Rimouski, 3 hours by road east of Québec City on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River (Highway 20), passengers wishing to travel with the vessel can board at any of its port calls where there is road access, making it an interesting alternative route eastbound or westbound. -

Nautical Times
Nautical Times Newsletter of the Canadian Inland Waterways Study Group British North America Philatelic Society Number 7 September 2000 Editor: Bob Parsons 75 Beacham Cres., Newcastle, ON L 1 B 1 N 1 Phone: (905) 987-1796 E-mail : [email protected] Treasurer: Michael Reid Box 283 , Schoenberg, ON LOG i TO & Mailing Phone: (905) 939-7335 My apologies for getting this issue out so late. In large part due to the after-effects of moving. New address and telephone number are posted above. This issue continues the Clarke Steamship Company, with the focus on the cross-river service. I found the photo below in a recent issue of Scott's Stamp Monthly and couldn't resist pasting it in here. It illustrates a baggage tag issued by the Clarke Steamship Company on March 7, 1937, aboard the steamer New Northland. Attached to the tag is a U.S. Customs Baggage Stamp. By regulation, the stamp should have been affixed to the actual item of baggage, but fortunately for future collectors it ended up on the tag instead. A nice item for those who collect Clarke Steamships. Two of our members highly recommend a new book about steamboats. It is entitled: STEAMBOAT CONNECTIONS Montreal to Upper Canada 1816-1843, Frank Mackey, McGill - Queens University Press 2000. I can highly recommend two books that cover steamboats in the Temiskaming area. They are: Bruce W. Taylor, The Age of Steam on Lake Temiskaming, published by the Highway Book Shop in Cobalt, Ontario. Richard Tatley, NORTHERN STEAMBOATS Timiskaming, Nipissing & Abitibi, The Boston Mills Press. -
Les Méga-Blocs De La Batture Argileuse, À Saint- Fabien-Sur-Mer, Côte Sud De L’Estuaire Maritime Du Saint-Laurent
Département de géomatique appliquée, Université de Sherbrooke Les méga-blocs de la batture argileuse, à Saint- Fabien-sur-Mer, côte sud de l’estuaire maritime du Saint-Laurent Jean-Claude Dionne Professeur émérite, Université Laval, Québec Bulletin de recherche no 187 ISSN 1713-7667 Décembre 2011 i Avant-propos Le présent rapport est basé sur 22 relevés effectués en 2010 et 2011 ainsi que sur plusieurs observations faites au cours des dernières décennies. L’auteur n’a bénéficié d’aucun support financier ni d’aucune assistance pour les travaux de terrain. Ce bénévolat constitue la contribution d’un géomorphologue retraité et septuagénaire, à la connaissance du milieu. Si la récolte des données a requis de nombreuses heures de travail dans des conditions variables et parfois difficiles, la compilation des données, la rédaction du rapport, la préparation des tableaux et le choix de l’illustration ont exigé un effort soutenu par la suite. En conséquence, nous souhaitons que son contenu contribue au progrès des connaissances sur les erratiques si abondants qui caractérisent les battures de la rive sud de l’estuaire maritime du Saint-Laurent. L’auteur remercie Pierrette Morissette pour la mise au propre du manuscrit ainsi que Louise Marcoux du Laboratoire de cartographie du Département de géographie de l’Université Laval pour la préparation de l’illustration. Le rapport a été édité sous la direction de Jean-Marie Dubois, du Département de géomatique appliquée de l’Université de Sherbrooke. ii Résumé Situé sur la rive sud de l’estuaire maritime du Saint-Laurent, à proximité du parc national du Bic, la baie de Saint-Fabien-sur-Mer, est caractérisée par une vaste batture argileuse, en grande partie couverte de cailloux de nature et de taille variées. -
