Volume 52-3 Colour.Qxd Volume 52 Number 5 April 2010 Special General Meeting (SGM) and Annual General Meeting (AGM) Monday, May 31, 2010, 7:30 PM This year, after much hard work and head-scratching by the ad hoc Bylaws Committee, we will be voting on proposed amendments to our governing bylaws at a Special General Meeting (SGM). As of May 1, 2010, an electronic copy of the proposed amendments will be available to all members at http://www.pqspb.org/downloads/bylaws2010.pdf . At the AGM, which will convene immediately following the SGM, we will be electing new Board members. This is one of the most important meetings of the year for BPQ - especially this year - so we very much encourage you to attend. We also recognize that taking a vote and listening to seemingly endless committee reports is not the most scintillating way to spend a Monday night. The “carrot on the stick” is therefore the post-AGM party! We look forward to seeing as many members as possible at the end-of-the-year party following the AGM. Editor’s Note Come and celebrate the year's accomplishments, enjoy very Dear members, I hope you’ve enjoyed yet another year congenial company, tasty edibles, flowing drink, and great of newsletters!

Since we were founded in 1917, this will be our 94th year. As I mentioned in my last message, we had a meeting on February 9 which brought together 10 members to discuss the issues around our declining membership. It was a lively and useful discussion with considerable congruency of opinion about why people might join and retain their membership in BPQ, and reasons for the overall decline. Education Conservation Observation In many ways, the views expressed were an affirmation that our membership is Bird Protection Quebec is the operational very loyal. One of the key points made was that while we have a core group of about name of The Province of Quebec So ciety for 100 active members and volunteers who serve on our Board, attend monthly the Protection of Birds. meetings, or go out on field trips, the majority are not active but continue to support Established January 4, 1917 us. We think a key reason is because of the ongoing work we do to acquire and manage conservation lands and our important role as a facilitator, assisting with Officers substantial donations so that others such as Nature Conservancy Quebec can President Jeff Harrison Vice-Presidents Marie-Anne Hudson purchase lands. Our members also know that we give out small but important Helen Meredith support grants annually to assist the work of other organizations, and research grants Hon. Vice-Presidents Robert Carswell which are often given to university students to further their biological research. Felix Hilton Someone pointed out that, over the years, these contributions have totlaled Mabel McIntosh $1 million. Our ability to do this is directly attributable to the Alfred Kelly bequest and Peter Mitchell to prudent management of the Kelly Fund by a series of capable treasurers. Treasurer Jean Gregson Secretary Jean Bacon While all that is well and good, I certainly do not want to leave the impression Membership Secretary Sharon Veysey that there is no room for improvement. The meeting raised quite a few substantive Website Manager Richard Gregson issues that we need to address. At this point, we are in the early stages of clarifying Newsletter Editor Marie-Anne Hudson these issues. We need to collect more information and consult more widely before we make recommendations to the Board. I will keep you informed as the process develops. Bird Protection Quebec/PQSPB is a registered charity. Another major issue that has germinated well is the ongoing review of our Registration # 11925 2161 RR0001. bylaws. All those who volunteered to sit on the ad hoc committee, chaired by Richard Gregson, have found their involvement surprisingly interesting! The committee’s All donations are tax deductible. preliminary report is now in the hands of the Board. We expect a very lively Membership and general inquiries: discussion at the March Board meeting. We hope that the changes proposed will be discussed and passed, as this will enable us to bring them forward at the AGM on Bird Protection Quebec P.O. Box 43, Station B May 31.

It was Tel: 514-637-2141 evident from the start that, without the able assistance of lawyer and Board member Marie-Hélène Gauthier, Richard and his committee would have had a much tougher Birdviews: Pierre Bannon time sorting out and solving the many sticky and unforeseen issues that arose.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

  • From the Closet to the Grave: Architecture, Sexuality and the Mount Royal Cemetery
    175 ISSN: 1755-068 www.field-journal.org vol.7 (1) From the Closet To the Grave: Architecture, Sexuality and the Mount Royal Cemetery Evan Pavka This paper argues that the burials of individuals who engaged, or were speculated to have engaged, in same-sex relations in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were in constant relation to the material and metaphoric closet. Due to limited archival material concerning cases of same-sex activity in Montreal, Canada, I look out toward international grave sites to construct a framework for analysis. Using case studies from French and American cemeteries alongside those in Mount Royal Cemetery in Montreal, I argue that, for those whose memory is directed by the living, the grave functions much like the closet—closing or disclosing what institutions and society deemed “abominable.” However, more powerful individuals were able to subvert the authority of the cemetery by immortalizing their “romantic friendships” in the grave. By navigating the binaries of the closet—closure/disclosure, hetero/homosexual and repression/pride— the grave has the potential to function as an important archive of identity, sexuality and memory. 176 www.field-journal.org vol.7 (1) The article ‘Israeli Supreme Court Rejects Family Petition To Bury Trans Woman As Their ‘Son’,’ published by Buzzfeed in 2015, outlines how the parents of trans-activist May Peleg sought to commemorate her as “their son.”1 Emphasizing burial as an instrument to rectify her gender and sexuality, the spatial realities of the closet embedded in this article parallel the burials of those who engaged in same-sex relations in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.2 The article speaks to the continued presence of the closet—closing or disclosing gender and sexuality—in death.

Déclaré site patrimonial le 9 mars 2005, ce territoire d’une superficie d’environ 750 hectares englobe les trois sommets du mont Royal et une portion de ses flancs. Il présente une concentration d’éléments distinctifs – relevant des domaines du sacré, du savoir, de la santé, du loisir, des services civiques et de l’habitation – qui reflètent ses multiples usages. Il nous faut poursuivre les efforts pour assurer la mise en valeur de ce site emblématique et, surtout, pour en préserver l’intégrité dans l’intérêt des générations actuelles et futures. Cela passe nécessairement par notre souci de le comprendre et de le protéger. C’est le propos et l’intention de ce plan de conservation. Le patrimoine culturel constitue une richesse collective exceptionnelle, mais une richesse malheureusement non renouvelable. Il mérite donc d’être considéré avec soin et vigilance. Ce document regroupe les connaissances acquises sur le site patrimonial et son histoire. De plus, il définit les orientations nécessaires à l’analyse des demandes d’autorisation relatives aux articles 64 et 65 de la Loi sur le patrimoine culturel. Il deviendra notre cadre de référence pour intervenir dans le respect des valeurs d’origine, dans un esprit de dynamisme et en écho aux besoins de la population.

It has occurred to the author very often that a volume presenting the peculiar features, favorite resorts and distinguishing characteristics, of the leading cities of America, would Peculiarities of American cities. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbtn.05993 Library of Congress prove of interest to thousands who could, at best, see them only in imagination, and to others, who, having visited them, would like to compare notes with one who has made their PECULIARITIES a study for many years. A residence in more than a hundred cities, including nearly all that are introduced in this work, leads me to feel that I shall succeed in my purpose of giving to the public a book, without the necessity of marching in slow and solemn procession before my readers a monumental array of time-honored statistics; on the contrary, it will be my aim, in the following pages, to talk of cities as I have seen and found them in my walks, from day to day, with but slight reference to their origin and past history.
