HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello to you all,

is ultimately a message of the holiday season waiting History and Society before a break for the holidays. An update repeatedly postponed since it is more demanding than expected to maintain a blog with a full-time work and part-time university studies. On yes, and friends and family that one tries not to be overlooked too.

The year 2010 is the first year "complete "The blog and updates, to my delight, were relatively large with 44 capsules on the original story of Quebec City (mostly). 2010 will also make an appointment weekly radio very short (on the airwaves SortirFM in Quebec) and a few interviews and conference about blogging (the project's historic cafes Quebec continues from late January 2011, we hear about it!).

So, 2011 looks promising. The challenge? Do not do less and above all do more! Projects abound. Remains to be seen how they will be realized.

Thus, the blog will return all Saturdays from January 15, 2011 !

A very Merry Christmas to all, surrounded by friends and family!

A very good year 2011 to you. I wish you health before everything else.

Short History of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Quebec

The holiday season is upon us. And this week, the Quebec media were slightly put aside time one day, their interests to participate in the Great Food Drive Media . This particular tradition has been established by the Society of St. Vincent da Paul in the second half of the nineteenth century. We have therefore thought fit to make a brief profile of this company in Quebec.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SSVDP) is set up in Paris, France in 1833, driven by the patron Emmanuel Bailly, Sister Rosalie Rendu advice of the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity and the energy of a group of university students in medicine and law Lyon, including a 20-year-old Frederic Ozanam. United by their desire to help the poor and a fervent Catholic faith, the organization is rapidly growing. It is eleven years after the founding the organization across the Atlantic with a first conference (the name of sections in the SSVDP) in Mexico in 1844. In Quebec, Dr. Joseph Painchaud (above) who is organizing a new conference Society of St. Vincent de Paul in 1846.

The facade was still standing (the part with the arrow in the photo) was destroyed in the months of February and March 2010.

The organization moved to Quebec, while it is mostly priests and parishes involved are still poor, because the state can not yet meet the demand. Dealing mainly clothing and food to the poor and needy children, the SSVDP also offers a placement service for workers without jobs. English speakers also have their companies (the Holy One. George, the Welsh and the St. Patrick). These are companies that focus of social support in Quebec. The SSVDP be as close to different Catholic congregations and recent works: creation of the Mercy Hospital (1874) and Asylum of the Good Shepherd for repentant prostitutes and pregnant out of wedlock, Patronage St Vincent de Paul (1861 until 'arrival of the Brothers of St. Vincent de Paul in 1884 who took over) for teaching poor children. The SSVDP also host sporting events throughout the second half of the nineteenth century (as well as other Canadian French) helping the establishment of the first leisure as friendly competition in athletics, for French-speaking inhabitants of Quebec.

In addition to helping the poor, the hosts quickly SSVDP Quebec Savings Banks. These funds, managed by those responsible for conferences of SSVDP are based in Spring 1848 in the parishes of Saint-Roch, Notre Dame de Quebec (above the building in the 1930 Montcalm). Although they are not recognized in the same way that banks (Savings Bank Act of 1841) and that depositors' money is rightly placed in different banks of Quebec at rates negotiated between unions and banks, these funds become major financial institutions for small savers francophones.

is the Great Depression of the 1930s which gives more space to the state in support of the needy and thus somewhat reducing the workload and effort of benevolent societies. Indeed, so far, the SSVDP has expanded with the first Food Drive for the holiday season (since 1870), the distribution of wood, family mediation and even care "fix" to improve the last days of sick dying. The SSVDP is so well recognized that the city is spending all its relief program in the early years of the Depression until the SSVDP decided in 1933 to allow this power to the city.

And finally, a small note about the Food Drive. Coming from a tradition of the nineteenth century (including the Society of St. Vincent de Paul), it was to move from house to house singing songs to collect some food for the poor. This year, an initiative of few individuals and companies web decided to make a small food drive social media. You can click on the banner to learn more! Happy Holidays!

Cholera at Quebec in 1832

One of the most important consequences in the short term population of Haiti following the earthquake of January 12, 2010 is the current epidemic of cholera on the island. As evidenced by the many texts in recent weeks on the website of the daily Le Devoir on the site Cyberpresse or on the website of Radio-Canada , this epidemic has become an election issue in more a major humanitarian crisis. Under current conditions, is an imposing challenge to limit the spread of such epidemics. But if you look in the history of Quebec City, cholera has also been a major scourge. To illustrate, we will study in particular the epidemic of 1832.

The city is growing more and more towards the north with the expansion of the Saint-Roch. British soldiers are still present in the city. But above all, mass immigration from Europe is in its early years. And this is when cholera hit the city the first time. The first outbreak is actually the continuation of an epidemic that would have surfaced in India in the late 1920s.

In simple terms, cholera is an intestinal infection that is spread through infected food and liquid by a bacillus. The main symptoms are stomach pain and diarrhea especially aggressive and highly liquid that causes rapid dehydration which can cause death of the person affected within hours or days. Although this information is now known, it was not necessarily the case in 1832 while

"It was also announced that the first of many cases" Asiatic cholera "(you can also read" cholera morbus ", occurred on June 9, on Saturday last. Given that the disease arrived with passengers from Europe It is not surprising that the epidemic broke out in early June, just weeks after the start of the season of navigation on the river. Although the epidemic is especially Quebec, it will reach Montreal also in the days that follow.

How does one fight against disease? Clinics, a sort of "branches" of the hospitals are open about different sources of contamination. Although symptoms are observed and thus known, there is still a kind of fatalism about the best way to attack this disease. Indeed, the most popular theory that explains the spread Cholera is the miasma theory, "bad air". These are somehow miasma clouds "smart" move and infect people. The different treatments against the miasma (which includes open flames fueled by a variety of products for burned or air movement in the clinics) are not the most effective in the light of modern knowledge of this disease. This is in addition to the windows are clean, the fabric belt to keep warm belly that are also widely prescribed preventive measures.

Also be added to cholera typhus that will wreak havoc in 1847 and a few other minor epidemics. The last major outbreak of cholera in the territory of present-day Quebec will take place in 1854. Much wider territory, there are fewer than 1,000 deaths in Quebec. In absolute numbers, it is less than 2% of the population of the city at this time.

Some mayors of Quebec: longevity and / or majority

Quebec City and particularly the administration Labeaume were shaken by the resignation of deputy director general of the city, Guy Renaud. The resignation comes certainly at a crucial working relationship with Quebec that seem to fester. But this resignation comes at a time: a mayor with a clear vision, a sliced spoken, a particular style and a great popular support. Mayor Labeaume is certainly a mayor aside, but it is certainly not alone in having a free hand in the history of the city.

There is the case of René-Édouard Caron will be mayor for six years during his second term (1840-46), but the municipal morals are so very different. The first mayor to have some longevity will certainly François Langelier (1882-1890), above). The provincial politician has made the jump into municipal politics after being elected in 1882 and immediately appointed by the council as mayor. During his tenure, he served as the functions of Commons in Ottawa and take the opportunity to improve the water system of Quebec and the fire department. He leaves office in Quebec City when he feels the growing hostility of the council meet its projects.

As a manager who will not hesitate to sell the possession of natural resources in the city of Quebec and certain foreign interests who own capital and know-how and who will use his contacts to benefit his contacts, his opposition will quickly become stronger and he should resign as mayor of Quebec in 1905 (he remains in office until February 1906).

Funeral Home Lépine-Cloutier in St-Roch, Quebec, 1845-2010

C his week, we learned the site cyberpresse of the neighborhood Saint-Roch Quebec "lose" one of its most venerable commercial institutions. Indeed, with businesses such as pharmacy Brunet (based in 1874) and Sutton furs (first settlement founded in 1867), the funerary complex Lépine-Cloutier of the Rue Saint-Vallier was a witness to the golden age of industrial and commercial center of Saint-Roch. Here is a brief history.
Sors le catafalque, le corbillard arrive - Quebec, Quebec

Source: Jean-Pierre Forest (photographer). View of the current headquarters Lépine-Cloutier. Online Consultation , November 6, 2010.

The founder of this house is Germain Legris said Lepine (1821-1899). Manufacturer of wooden furniture, Lepine moved into the current residence of St. Roch in 1844. In 1845, he began making wooden coffins and funeral organizing. This service clearly meets a need. Quebec City had already experienced major epidemics, but these outbreaks since 1830 have made it a more "modern" with death rates in very difficult conditions, dignity in death becomes a real consideration. Moreover, trade openness coincides with the great fire of 1845, fire that spares buildings Germain Lepine. Furniture manufacturers are generally not contractors who specialize in making coffin, but Mr. Lepine made a different choice. For about $ 2, you can buy a casket manufactured to a size suitable for the deceased, with each difference of three inches (five-foot three, five feet six, five feet, nine, etc.).

Germain Legris said Lepine launches as quickly in the organization of funerals. Around 1860, we bought the first hearses and 1865, the family abandons its trade Lépine furniture and now specializes solely on the coffin and funeral. And professionalism shown by the family brought in customers. This is why trade is growing rapidly and Elzéar Lepine and Germain, the son of the first, joined their father in managing the family business. The son will help open two new places in Saint-Sauveur and Saint-Jean Baptiste. And they will allow the company to stay abreast of the latest techniques and practices in this area.


Source: "The company Lepine storefront on the Rue St. Vallier as it was in the 1900s, " online consultation , November 6, 2010.

For example, in 1896, the grand-son of Germain Legris said Lepine, Lepine Adelard, became the first embalmer in Quebec City, a practice until then banned by the Catholic Church. The first "balmy"? Archbishop Elzéar-Alexandre Taschereau (first Canadian cardinal) for which the church organizes funeral pomp (here below) which will cost over 680 dollars in 1898, which also includes the construction of a special custom hearse. But also, the company Lepine is known to have embalmed several victims of the sinking of the Empress of Ireland 29 May 1914. Since the early twentieth century, the home of Germain Lépine is certainly one that makes the largest proportion of municipal funeral personalities, political and religious in the city of Quebec.

In parallel, in 1856 that Charles Cloutier, large- Cloutier's father Arthur, founded his first funeral home in the Saint John the Baptist (see here below). The company survives long after the founder, but the name Cloutier, who will join that of Lepine is not directly that of Charles. Arthur Cloutier is set up in 1928, the first real laboratory embalming of the city even founded his funeral home a bit earlier, Arthur Cloutier & Fils enr. Although Arthur Cloutier died in 1942, his family still owns establishments in the region of Quebec and became the competitor certainly the strongest and most ferocious of the Lepine family.

In Lepine, the building of the Rue Saint-Vallier remains the headquarters of the company until 2010. And it's also long been the family home. Thus, customers were received on the ground floor of the residence. In the lounge, we had a series of traps in the walls that could be opened to see the different styles of coffins. These traps were open for customers and then closed so that family life will continue normally. From 1917 to 1937, is the widow of Germain Lepine, Malvina Racicot, who runs the family business. In the 1950s, the family business Lepine ( like the Cloutier family) is being modernized at the same rate as large businesses in this industry. We offer pre-arrangements, in particular. Lepine home will be the first in Quebec to offer cremation services in the region of Quebec in the early 1970s.

In 1975, the funeral home Lepine amalgamates with Arthur Cloutier. In 1988, while Lepine-Cloutier is one of the major funeral homes in Canada, the group Urgel Bourgie, Montreal acquired the company from Quebec. Having been briefly then sold to American interests in 1996, the band returned under the control of house workers Homes, both of Montreal and Québec City in 2002. Today is the consolidation of the company's services under one roof invoked by administrators to justify the move. Nobody knows yet what will happen to the building of the Rue Saint-Vallier.

As the title suggests, there will be no formal update this week. If you're in university is probably the beginning of your week reading. Good week. For others, it's fall continuing. In my case, it is probably the busiest period of the year. So this week I abdicate. But without fail, I'll be there next week. So see you on October 30. Halloween Special? Maybe ...?

Further to last week's note on the interpretation of heritage, I just wanted to let you know that there is a short program to second degree offered at the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivieres, which directly addresses these kinds of issues and problems. This is the Short Program, 2nd degree in interpretation and cultural mediation . I am currently enrolled and will therefore be the first graduating class after the session Summer 2011.

Red Lump On My Anus Hole

TEST: The Historian and the City (1): the role of interpreter Heritage

The annual congress of the Société des musées québécois held from October 12 to 15 in Quebec City. Under the theme Museum and Intangible Heritage: Issues and Challenges , Congress has an opportunity to hear several speakers in the museum community, a workplace where it is practiced thousands of scientific history, come and present different problems facing the heritage immaterial. Could not attend the meetings, the holding of this congress is nevertheless a great opportunity to talk yet little about the role of the historian outside academia. And although, from a reliable source, the speakers of the congress did not really address the role of interpreter, we will try to talk a little more detail. A long post that is just the beginning of a longer discussion again ...

choices that arise According to the historian of the university are many. But we must admit that the historian who wishes to make history in the sense that he would call to study and understand the past, all outside the circles university, are not numerous. One of the best options is certainly looking for specialized firms. These companies exist and are numerous. This ticket does not address this option. This post deals with another option that may be interesting interpretation of history or more precisely the interpretation of heritage. We want here to distinguish between history and heritage. Indeed, the story is to say a study of the past through a scientific method by studying, comparing and linking a variety of sources is one thing. We are aware that this is a noble goal. But we do not believe can make the interpretation of history.

Interpretation was first theorized by the American Freeman Tilden (above). Tilden is a journalist who publishes for the first time in 1957 a study that shows different rules of interpretation in his book Interpreting Our Heritage (University of North Carolina Press, 1957) following a request by the National Park Service of the United States. For purposes of this discussion, we chose to retain the definition of the International Council on Monuments and Sites which defines interpretation as follows:
"interpretation refers to all potential activities intended to increase public awareness and enhance understanding of the cultural heritage site. This may include publications, conferences, facilities on-site educational programs, community activities and research, training and ongoing evaluation of the interpretation process itself. " (from ICOMOS Charter for the interpretation and presentation of cultural and heritage sites, 2008, online consultation )
So, it is" to increase public awareness "by an exercise communication can become very complex. It therefore necessarily spell the academic sphere and research that need to be valid, a set of sources and arguments are presented and organized following a scientific method. Not that the interpretation does not meet its own rigorous methods and principles, this is simply not the same as the methods of the academic historian.

Thus, heritage alongside this world, but is motivated by other goals. objectives that are similar to those of interpretation. In fact, we accept the definition Consulting Group's policy of Quebec's heritage that defines heritage as "any object or [...] Overall, tangible or intangible, known collectively and appropriate for its value as evidence and historical memory and deserving of protection, preserved and enhanced " ( online consultation , p. 33) .

It thus refers to an object that is "recognized", so that has already been studied on university benches, one refers to the value of "Truth and Historical Memory" which implies an emotional ownership by the public; and it refers to what should be "protected, preserved and enhanced" So a choice that is either public or political, organizational or because someone has decided that this past should be transmitted to future generations. In short, the action transmit (such as action to produce academic research in history for that matter) is never accidental.

Thus, university-trained historian will perhaps not be called a career. It must therefore find its niche. Is not given to everyone to begin to publish or to seek a satisfactory manner. And we must not hide the fact that knowledge of the past often takes the form of a passion among those who wish to pursue history. And interpretation of heritage is certainly a good option. The academic historian is well equipped to face the challenges of professional guide. Strong scientific method to read and understand the sources and historical materials, a sharp analytical mind. Only remains for him to gain experience in addressing the general public, nothing but a good background in animation can learn (understanding that it must also have the benefit of this knowledge to speak to the public) . But this area is ungrateful.

Few employers and organizations that recognize the true value of this work. First, it faces a major problem etymological guide, facilitator guide, interpreter, guide and interpreter, tour guide, hotel guide and facilitator are only a few concepts that will refer sometimes to the same reality, sometimes very different realities. And this, not to mention actors who do street theater history, drivers of taxis or horse drawn carriages that offer tours, guides school, other historians and scholars of the past become the guides for a stroll or conference, genealogists and many others!

We believe that the guide, whatever its form (either costumed historical figure or not, he plays a specific character or invented or that it simply presents itself as a guide) is an important transmission belt our past and our heritage more realistically (brief elements of our past that we wish to pass on to future generations). Who better than a person properly trained and competent to answer questions from visitors? Who better than a person present to hear the reactions of visitors to the content of exhibitions and visits to adjust the content to better meet the demands visitors? Who better to talk about intangible heritage, the things you can not see or even better, to help understand the evidence that these realities are immaterial? Who better to help create an experience "multisensory" that will be unforgettable? It is still present multimedia, interactive exhibition, the experience of feelings by manipulating objects or original works. But the guide would happen with good technical knowledge and could better meet the specific needs of visitors.

That several heritage sites and museums drop their own wage Guides misery, working conditions or outdated considering that this work should go only to volunteers or students minimum wage for summer is an absurdity. And too often the reality. ATTENTION: We believe that without volunteers, heritage institutions (and by extension cultural institutions at large) would sink into the abyss unfathomable and can not survive (the picture is a little strong, but nonetheless true). But it is especially true that the guides are a resource the less well exploited by many institutions.

We believe that the university-trained historian should broadly according to their desires and skills, integrated into the labor market positions guide. The historical method is a scientifically rigorous approach to the realities of the past and know how to take what is most significant. Thus prepared, these guides could become good belting to the public but also to other guides in their respective organizations. This would also ensure that historians continue to work in history, not as "creators of new knowledge, but as a purveyor or more appropriately, as" recovery "of our heritage. It's a different way of considering the work of the professional historian, but a real alternative to academia where, moreover, there are many called but few are chosen. To do this, we believe it is important to advocate for better working conditions for Guides in the broadest sense.

Our main suggestions for employers (and employees!):
* A respectful compensation based on academic training - a guide holding a bacc. or control and which is selected for these specific skills should never accept a salary equivalent to that of an employee in a position without training (we are aware that the reality of economics, supply and demand, is quite different. But it is crucial to actively campaigned for this in your workplace - museum organizations will perhaps stopped to ask why the coordinator's position at $ 13 an hour is vacant every six months ...)

Responsibilities * Research and development are intimately linked to the academic training to increase the feeling membership and retention of staff (for example, the guide formed in history is able to search and guide formed as an engineer animation may be more likely to find good ways to share this information)

* Respect for expertise in-house: if a guide is formed in history, he can benefit from its own research and reading the rest of the organization, including individuals who do historical research as a basic work.

* Focus on training: course content and classes of container. Keeping abreast of updated skills. Make available relevant scientific articles. Create informal groups of knowledge transfer. In short, professionalize this area of work.

It is certain that all organizations have different means. I'm talking about ideals that should be a priority. Deals with cultural heritage and increasingly diverse, it will take more than objects or multimedia or interactive stations to attract and retain your visitors. It will require trained guides, competent, dynamic and can just afford a level of interaction with much denser your sources and exhibits or tours that only objects or testimony. Historically, the guides were discarded in favor of content. It is time to ask questions ... We are aware that for many organizations, the reflection is still far from the situation ideal. But we propose to begin what will, hopefully, a profound change in the recognition of our past by giving chance to the real professionals it can continue to provide the closest possible knowledge of the scientific the best way possible.

Note: It should be noted that for the purposes of this note, we have deliberately left aside the notion of mediation or mediator who recently applied to the culture. Indeed, the mediator is a person who tries to bring the visitor a culturally defined (in our case wealth) using a together even more direct techniques that the only interpreter. Although the debate between interpretation and mediation is important to simplify a technical reading enough, we wanted to avoid additional definitions and thus approach the interpretation in the broadest sense.

The Coliseum Quebec, 1949 to present

Note: History and Society one year old today! I invite you to visit our archives you will find a menu to the left or search the archives using the same bar for this purpose to consult all capsules currently published! Although the current draft does not look entirely to the project "Collaborative" was planned, I am very happy to have you with nearly fifty winks on the history of Quebec. In the first year, History and Society has been the subject of several articles in some media, I conducted a few interviews and even capsules on the radio, other projects are currently under development. The year 2010-2011 will be at least as interesting. Thank you for reading!

After the "Blue March" last week and an article on Nordiques in the WHA, we felt that our interest in "equipment" that is expected through the current turmoil in the region of Quebec, that is to say, the construction of a new MFC (ie the amphitheater). Of course, there is already an amphitheater in Quebec City, Colisee Pepsi, and we wanted to try to give a brief overview of its history dating back to its construction.

history of the Coliseum is intimately related to the flag of the Agriculture Committee of the Provincial Exhibition and the history of skating in Victoria Park. Indeed, the latter being destroyed by fire in 1942, the professional team at the time, the Quebec Aces who played at Victoria Park, must find a new home. The Provincial Exhibition Commission decides to change its flag of Agriculture (built in 1930) and installed an indoor rink in 1942. We do not yet speak of the Quebec Coliseum. The activities of this amphitheater will also be interrupted by a fire. This first "Colosseum" is on fire and damage is estimated at over one million dollars! But there are more worthy arena to host professional teams and Quebec Junior ... (Incidentally, the flag of Agriculture will be rebuilt and become the flag of Youth in 1970, now under the management ExpoCité).

So after the fire of the first rink flag of Agriculture, March 15, 1949, the city decided to build the Coliseum in Quebec. It appealed to the architect Rob Zabrowski. Construction officially begins May 24, 1949. We work hard all summer and fall to complete construction before the end of the year. It manages this feat because this, December 8, 1949, a first meeting on the rink at the Coliseum, which opposes the Quebec Aces in the Quebec Citadels. This first part takes place before an empty auditorium ... seat! Indeed, it was not yet installed the seats in the Coliseum, which operation will be conducted during the following weeks. It ends by installing seats for 10,004 spectators. The absolute record crowd will be drawn April 25, 1951. During a game that pitted then the Barrie Flyers of the Quebec Citadels, are piled between 16 806 the walls of the Colosseum. Of course, there is more than 6000 people seating capacity of the amphitheater for this part of the Eastern final of the Memorial Cup, Cup awarded to the top junior team in the country.

For the arrival of the Quebec Nordiques in the NHL for the 1979-80 season, it was decided to enlarge the building and there installs about 5000 more seats than the Coliseum reaches its maximum current 15 176 tickets. For 31 years now, the amphitheater has not experienced major changes and has hosted several parties and junior teams in professional hockey over parts of roller hockey and many musical performances and cultural demonstrations. In 1999, the city sold a sponsorship to Pepsi Co. and the Colosseum will now be known as the Pepsi Coliseum. It remains today at the amphitheater largest number of seats in Quebec City.

Quebec Nordiques in the WHA, 1972-1979

On Saturday, October 2, 2010, almost all the Quebec media have made much of the "Blue March" (see the texts cyberpresse of radio-canada and Journal Quebec by clicking on links). This gathering, as anyone who will talk about it, or multiple different targets including the return of a franchise of National Hockey League (NHL) in the old capital or the construction of a new "entertainment complex" (read a new multipurpose auditorium). Since blue is the color of the former professional hockey team from Quebec of the National League, the Nordics, we decided to linger at a time in their history, their participation in tonight's World Hockey Association (WHA), between 1972 and 1979.

In their first season at Quebec Nordiques are not a new concession itself. Indeed, leaders of the WHA managed to sell the franchise to San Francisco (called the Sharks) before the start of the first league season to a group of investors from Quebec. This group, dubbed the 'Group of Six ", was composed by Marius Fortier, Marcel Bedard, Leo-Paul Beausoleil, John Dacres, Jean-Marc Bruneau and Jean-Claude Mathieu, had divested their interests in the junior team ramparts of Quebec for investing in a professional staff.


Petit Pierre Letarte film of National Film Board of Canada about pre-season parties and moments that lead to the first part of the Quebec Nordiques. Viewed 2 October 2010.

The arrival of the Nordic marked the return of professional hockey in Quebec for the years of the Quebec Hockey Club (better known as the Quebec Bulldogs). The transaction of 215,000 dollars (a large sum compared to other franchises in the WHA, but quite small compared to the few million requested for an NHL team at that time) is entered February 11, 1972, before the first repechage WHA. But we must now find the money to run the team. Aided in extremis by owner Alberta Oilers guarantees 100,000 dollars to the team, it will eventually raise money to Place Laurier, May 5, 1972, which Nordic manage to raise over two million dollars for their operation. To help the league to recruit young talent, the minimum age for recruitment of players is lower than in the NHL. But it remains difficult to convince the established stars to make the jump. Not that nobody comes to play in the WHA (Bobby Hull signed the first contract between another one million dollars with the Jets) but Quebec is not the greatest power of attraction. Nevertheless, we are ready to play.

The Nordics will play their first game on 11 October 1972 (losing to the Cleveland Crusaders). The first head coach of the Nordiques is a Maurice Richard, who will remain in that position for the first two parts of the first season, feeling too much pressure and are already heavily involved in other projects. Although these early seem difficult, the team will know a good time. They will also win the league championship in season 1976-77 (see the trophy Serge Aubry, below), finishing first in their division in 1974-75 regular season and second overall in the league during the last season in 1978-79. But several other big names have played for the WHA fleurdelisé the years. Of these, mention may Réal Cloutier, Jean-Claude Tremblay, Marc Tardif, Serge Aubry, Serge Bernier and Richard Brodeur.

In the second half of the 1970s, it is obvious that the WHA and the NHL will not live long, several teams experiencing financial problems. Begun in 1977, it was the winter of 1978-79 as negotiations intensify to a merger between the NHL and WHA. Although the merger is rejected, an agreement signed March 22, 1978 states that four teams including the Nordiques, Winnipeg Jets, Edmonton Oilers and Hartford Whalers joined the ranks of the NHL during the 1979-80 season . This merger confirms the end of the WHA and thus opened So a new chapter for the Quebec team. This part of the history of the team will be a future post.

Horse racing in Quebec to the late 19th century a small

This week, the site of the daily Le Soleil announced a "renewal" of horse racing in Quebec . It was indeed the return horse racing in Quebec City after nearly a full year without racing. Of course, horse races are events that were already presented to the colonial era. Trying to find some roots of the sport (as we hear, there are many few).

In New France, one can not talk about horse racing sport in the sense of the word. It should certainly await the arrival of horses in the colony in the late 1660s. However, there were actually racing, mostly informal, which put in scene of riders to find out which horse was the faster. It is said that these are informal races which forced the authorities of the city of Quebec to impose fines or hitches for horses that do not respect some rules of the road, a certain speed limit. Here is also an excerpt from an order of the Intendant François Bigot (no portrait exists) on this subject:


[...] On the account that has been made to the prejudice various police regulations, carters and other people of this city, and even rural dwellers who come here, conduct their carts (sic) with such speed that often being more control of their horses, they overthrew the carts (sic) who are in their way, and people on foot whom they do not have time to settle down, and being required to remedy such accidents can be unfortunate, as we have already seen.
We forbid all persons who will conduct carts (sic), or to be on their horses to make them gallop or trot at a brisk trot through the streets of this city, order them, when they find people walk in their path, stop and even turn away, to give them time to retire, on pain against offenders twenty pound fine, payable without offset, which applies to hospitals and greater punishment for repeat offenders.
We command for police officers to hold hands in the execution of this order, which will be read, published and posted in the usual manner, that no one pretends ignorance. [Transcript found online , September 21, 2010, Museum of Civilization, Quebec]

The first horse race "sport" is held in Quebec in 1767. This race is organized by a man named Wilcox and stands on the Plains of Abraham. That would be Captain Prescott, an officer of the garrison of Quebec would have won the award of 40 dollars overlapping the mare Modesty. But all in all this remains an isolated event and can not yet speak of races organized and fair to Quebec.

Horse racing, like most sports under British rule, are an important factor of cohesion between people of the same social class. Thus, it is not surprising that the first sports association of Quebec, founded in 1789, touches the equestrian sport. Indeed, the Turf Club Quebec exemplifies the appeal of horse racing and socializing space represented by the general sports and equestrian in particular.

Only at the beginning of the 19th century, however, that the races will be held more regularly. The Plains of Abraham are always a favorite. Indeed, the Ursulines rent space from the current "sports field" (that is to say the plain before the National Museum of Fine Arts) and is mainly here that we find a racetrack. Until the early 1830s, Quebec Turf Club organizes at least one day of racing per year. The practice remains discriminatory: Canadians (-French) who have no access to British horse racing simply less glamorous and less attractive scholarships, plus they seem to promote harness racing rather than mounted that the British prefer .

In 1847, the Quebec Turf Club, anxious to limit access to sport and wishing that horse sports remain the preserve of an elite, moved its race in Ancienne-Lorette to discourage workers from coming the races. During the second half of the 19th century, diversification will lead to discrimination and loss of interest in the practice of racing horses. The Turf Club Quebec ceases to operate in 1887.

The book may date a little (he is 25 years old), but remains a very good source on the sport, written by one of the most enlightened authors on the history of sport in Quebec.

Connecting Additional Fan To Xbox

awaiting update ...

A particularly heavy schedule of work will push the update to much later this week. Friday? Saturday? Sunday? Maybe even two updates next week?

In the meantime, I invite you to do two things:

First, go read the excellent documents prepared by Vicky Lapointe Charles Chambers, one of the fastest growing crime in the history of Quebec City, including its most recent article on the fate of Chambers, confirming, it seems, the time of his death. Go read his blog, Heritage, History and Media and happy reading! The record is tied.

Secondly, I know the Court's history (submitted by the National Capital Commission of Quebec) has announced its programming in representation on the Chambers, but I also invite you to go see the presentation of the Commission on National Battlefields on this topic. Indeed, their activity Trial Chambers of the band (click on link for details) will be presented on Friday 17 and Saturday, September 18, 2010 for a third edition (the activity was introduced in 2008 and 2009) . It is a historical movie, halfway between the theater and the interpretation that will help you understand a little better the justice system from the early 19th century. You will attend a portion of the hearing in Chambers and will take part in the trial. And above all, you can visit two places very important to the story of robbers Cape Red (band Chambers) dungeons and various rooms of the Morrin Centre (which housed the prison town of Quebec at that time) and Chapel congregation (now Jesuit chapel) which was "seen" by Chambers and his band in February 1835. Reservations are required, 418-649-6157!

good week!
