These regions are Bas-Saint-Laurent, Gaspésie, Côte-Nord and the Îles de la Madeleine. A vast territory bordered by 3000 kilometres (1900 miles) of coastline, which alternates between wide fine- sand beaches and small, rocky bays or impressive cliffs, Québec maritime has a long tradition that has been shaped by the ever-present sea. This tradition is expressed in the lighthouses that dot the coast, diverse and abundant wildlife, colourfully painted houses, gatherings on the quays and especially the joie de vivre of local residents. There are places you have to see, feel and experience… Québec maritime is one of them! Did You Know That… The tallest lighthouse in Canada is in Cap-des-Rosiers and is 34 metres (112 feet) high? Jacques Cartier named the Lower North Shore “the land of many isles” because this region’s islands were too numerous to name individually? Lake Pohénégamook is said to hide a monster named Ponik? The Manicouagan impact crater is the fifth largest in the world and can be seen from space? Legendary Percé Rock had three arches in Jacques Cartier’s time? The award winning movie Seducing Dr.

  • AFT Urges Our Politicians to Eliminate Religious Privileges and to Stop Referring to Religion-Based Violence As Racist
    Atheist Freethinkers PRESS RELEASE For immediate release AFT urges our politicians to eliminate religious privileges and to stop referring to religion-based violence as racist Montreal, 8th April 2016 – Atheist Freethinkers (LPA-AFT), an association which promotes secularism and supports the rights of atheists, denounces the Justin Trudeau government for favouring individuals who have a religion over those who have no religion. It also denounces inappropriate use of the term “racism”––by Prime Minister Trudeau, by Kathleen Weil, Quebec Minister of Culture, Communications and Immigration and by Régis Labeaume, the mayor of Quebec City––to describe the recent incident that occurred in the Quebec City region, in which Mr. Singh Khehra was allegedly beaten, apparently because of his belonging to the Sikh religion. Police authorities have however denied the religious character of the incident, claiming it not to be a contributing factor. We of the organization Atheist Freethinkers denounce such acts of gratuitous violence.
