Introduction [Top of Page] Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Its paramount political problem continues to be the relationship of the province of Quebec, with its French-speaking residents and unique culture, to the remainder of the country.

Extractions: Quebec [Québec] is a province in Canada, North America , bordered on the Southeast by the United States and New Brunswick, on it's Southwest by Ontario, on it's West and North by Hudson Bay, and on it's Northeast by Newfoundland. It has an area of 1 700 000 sq.km, and is three times as large as France. Population density is low, at 4.7 inhabitants per square kilometer. Northern Québec is sparsely populated with approximately 35 000 inhabitants. Approximately three fourths of Québecers live near the shores of the Saint Lawrence River. Québec has more than 1 million lakes and waterways. The Saint Lawrence River, one of the most beautiful stretches of water in North America, crosses Québec from west to east, for 1000 km [600 miles]. It then flows into the Atlantic. Thus making both Montreal [Montréal] and Quebec City, which border the St. Lawrence, world trade ports.

Extractions: Quebec City is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. In fact, in 1985 Quebec City was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The city itself is located on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, near the point where the St. Charles River meets the St. Lawrence. Upper Town is located on top of the Cap-Diamant, a promontory (a point of high land jutting out over the water) 98 metres high. Lower Town is the part of the city located at shore level, below the promontory. Several suburbs, such as Sainte-Foy, Sillery, Cap-Rouge, Charlesbourg, Beauport, and Ancienne-Lorette surround the city. The only walled city north of Mexico, Quebec City is a alive with history. A high stone wall still surrounds the old part of the city. The region boasts many breathtaking landmarks. The Plains of Abraham , located near on the edge of the promontory overlooking the St. Lawrence River offer much to do in both summer and winter. Further up the river the Montmorency Falls are also a must see. Linking the south shore with the north shore of the St. Lawrence River are the two bridges The Jacques Cartier River as well as the Chaudiere River empty themselves in the St. Lawrence close to Quebec City.

The combined area of France , Germany , and Spain exceeds only by 2,600 square miles that of Quebec . History The history of Quebec dates as far back as the discovery of Canada itself.

Extractions: Dana Walker Fifteen thousand years ago, people could not live in Canada because it was buried beneath 2-4 kilometers of ice. Today, only 11% of Canada has been settled. This country is divided into 13 provinces. You can think of a province as being like a state in America. Canada's largest province is Quebec, and Quebec City is the capital of this province. A map of Canada by Gary Radley The name, Quebec, means narrowing of the waters. The city is beautifully located at the point where the St. Charles River meets the narrowing waters of the St. Lawrence River. The city was uniquely designed by Mother Nature to be a split city. This means it has two levels, an upper level and a lower level. Upper Town sits atop Cape Diamond, an area of highland that juts out over the St. Lawrence River. In Upper Town, you will find Quebecs historic Citadel . Upper Town is also known for its cobblestone streets. Located below Cape Diamond, at shore level, is Lower Town. The two towns are connected by stone stairways. If you visit Lower Town

Extractions: Whither Geography? Return Introduction Notwithstanding the central role that has been allocated to 'history' and 'citizenship education' via the new major reform in Quebec elementary and secondary classrooms, it is a sad fact - to some - that 'geography' has apparently been sacrificed on the playing fields of contemporary curriculum revisionism. While the various secondary subject specific development teams are still hard at work (the new high school programs for grades seven and eight are not slated for trial implementation until September 2001) and time allocations and grade designations have yet to be formally finalized, the emerging plan clearly renders geography to second tier status! While heavily engaged in the framing of the American Constitution and other matters resulting from the break with Britain, John Adams (1735-1826) found time to regularly correspond with his wife on all manner of issues. The schooling of their children was a paramount concern and in a letter dated May 12, 1780, this American leader and intellectual wrote: "I must study politics and war that my sons may have the liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural science, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain."

CICDC - Home of the Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan Quebec, the capital, founded in 1608, population, according to the last census (1901), 68,840; Montreal founded 1642, population, exclusive of lately annexed municipalities, 267,730; Three Rivers, founded 1634, population, 9981; Sherbrooke, 11,765; Hull, 13,993; Valleyfield, 11,055. Quebec, the capital, long enjoyed a political, military, and commercial superiority over all Canada. Although since surpassed in material prosperity, it still appeals to the scholar and student, teeming as it is with historical interest, while to the tourist it offers a view of magnificence and picturesqueness perhaps unique in the world. Here landed the discoverers of the country and the founders of the nation; hither came the bare-footed Recollect, the black-robed Jesuit , the Ursuline and the hospital Sisters; here the noble and saintly Laval ruled the infant Church of New France; from hence the Faith radiated throughout North America. Here was born Joliet, the discoverer of the Mississippi; here the viceroys held court; here flourished, from the very outset, many of the dearest devotions of the Church. Laval's first cathedral was dedicated in 1666 to the Immaculate Conception; the cult of the Holy Family was approved in 1665, a fact lauded by Leo XIII in his Letter "Neminem fugit" (14 June, 1892); the first celebration of the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the New World took place in the Ursuline chapel (1700); Traditions of courtesy as well as of piety were created that have left their impress on the people's character. Almost the entire population of the province of Quebec, i. e. about five-sixths, consists of French-Canadians; the remainder comprises chiefly the descendants of English, Scotch, and Irish immigrants. About 12,000 Indians and half-breeds of the Iroquois, Huron, Micmac, Abenaki, and Montagnais tribes occupy reservations in different sections of the province. With one or two exceptions, these aborigines are instructed by missionaries in their respective tongues, which they have faithfully preserved in spite of their environment.
