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.

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.

Note: This church built at the end of the nineteenth century, houses the "Patro" especially in the first half of the twentieth century. 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. Although the fund based in the parish of Saint-Roch was disbanded at the turn of the 1860s, Notre Dame (Upper Town) is continuing its activities and adapts gradually becoming a bank in good and due form.

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.

1832. Quebec (above) is a growing town. The timber trade with England and flourished in the presence of marine city arises. 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.

"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.

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.
