Uni.ca - Canadian History Curriculum In Quebec
CANADIAN history CURRICULUM IN quebec. Following a prescribed program.Below are its Table of Contents history OF quebec AND CANADA (414).
http://www.uni.ca/curriculum.html

Extractions: Following a lively discussion thread in the Newsgroups recently, uni.ca has obtained information from a Secondary III (Grade 9) history teacher, who still teaches Canadian History in Montreal. Quebec provides detailed curriculum guidelines at the secondary level. In later grades, there are provincially approved matriculation exams (in English or French, depending on the school), a certain number of which must be passed before one can receive one's (provincial) high school leaving certificate. The guidelines are an indication of the focus of the content of what history is taught Quebec students. Notably, the only two Prime Ministers of Canada studied are John A. MacDonald and Wilfrid Laurier (1896-1911). After that, the course is Quebec only. For example, Pierre Trudeau is mentioned only as a contrast to René Lévesque. The Curriculum Guide issued by the government is 358 pages long. Also issued is a workbook/notebook for the course, approximately 200 pages which follows the prescribed program.

Extractions: Quebec's History in the NHL Quebec entered the NHL along with three other WHA franchises. The team spent the first year adjusting to their new league, in 1979. But that year Quebec made three notable picks in the Entry Draft : Michel Goulet (20th overall), Dale Hunter (41st), and Anton Stastny (83rd). Along with the signing of Peter Stastny, the Nordiques had a foundation that would soon put them among the NHL's elite teams. While the Nordiques became competitive, in 1987 they drafted another future star - and perhaps one of the best players ever to suit up in the NHL. Joe Sakic was picked 15th overall, behind such immortally bad players such as Dean Chynoweth, Keith Osborne, and Jimmy Waite. Sakic was the best player in the draft, and has scored more points than anyone else from that draft year (which included Brendan Shanahan and Pierre Turgeon). However, the future continued to brighten while the Nords' regular season results began to slide. Finishing last in their division five years in a row, which included a 12-win season in 1989-90, Quebec could only build for the future. In 1988 they drafted Curtis Leschyshyn, Valeri Kamensky, and Stephane Fiset; in 1989, Mats Sundin and Adam Foote; in 1990 Owen Nolan; in 1993 Jocelyn Thibault and Adam Deadmarsh; and in 1994 - their last draft year as a Quebec franchise - Chris Drury and Milan Hejduk. The biggest payoff came in 1991, though, when Eric Lindros was taken first overall.

Cradle of the Insititute" This house / school is the first house of the Congregation. As early as , the community was already beginning to expand; in a short period of time the sisters undertake the direction of several schools, and open boarding schools, especially in the Montreal area and in the surrounding countryside. In time, other regions, such as that of Abitibi, Temiscamingue, the Gaspe Peninsula and South-West Ontario would call forth the devotedness of the members of the congregation. By , four sisters leave for Victoria on Vancouver Island. At the time there was no rail line joining East and West. The sisters made the voyage by boat, crossing the Isthmus of Panama and then traveling overland. It was not until six weeks later that the sisters arrived at Victoria mostly populated by native Indians, traders and adventurers prospecting for gold. A new void to be filled presents itself in the United States in . It is a somber time in the lives of many French Canadians, who, needing to find work, have to emigrate. More than a million of them cross the American frontier at this time. Fearful that these numerous emigrants might lose their language and their faith, the bishops and priests call on the Sisters of Saint Anne who in turn accept exile in order to be of service to their compatriots. They first settle in Oswego, N.Y. and from there, extend their apostolic zeal to the Boston Diocese as well as to those of Providence, Albany, Springfield and Worcester. In time, a dynamic upsuge of American sisters will take over the direction of the community works and extend their influence as far as Florida, Virginia, Missouri and Maryland.

Introduction In order to begin to understand the diversity of organisms and ecosystems that exist in Quebec, we have to have to look more closely at the physical features of Quebec and at the geological events that help to define them. The descriptions of the geology and vegetation zones of Quebec have been compiled from the Quebec Convention on Biological Diversity, Implementation Plan and from the introductory chapter of the Atlas of Breeding Birds of Quebec First, let's look at Quebec as a whole: it is a land mass covering 1.67 million square kilometres. Understandably, such a huge area of land will be diverse in both climate and geology, factors which influence how much diversity exists in a given place. Quebec is also a peninsula, surrounded on 3 sides by salt water (Atlantic Ocean, Labrador Sea and Hudson Bay) and divided by the St. Lawrence river one of the world's largest freshwater river systems. 2.

Extractions: Story and Photos by Jeff Lukovich A street scene in old Quebec City. D o you have the history and culture blues? Would you like to experience some old European atmosphere? Do you want your Canadian five dollar bill to buy you more than a cup of coffee? With a visible and very significant history that goes back nearly 400 years, Quebec City offers you the opportunity to do all this and not break the bank. Coming from the Algonquin word, Kebec, meaning "where the river narrows", Quebec City is the site of a First Nations heritage that is thousands of years old. European influence began in 1608 when Samuel de Champlain established the first permanent French settlement in North America. Over the next 150 years it became a major battleground in the fight between England and France for control of the new land. Finally, in 1759, the city fell into English hands after the pivotal Battle of the Plains of Abraham. After an attempted American invasion in 1775, the British completed the walls and fortifications begun by the French, and which give the city its unique character today. In 1867, Quebec City became capital of the province of Quebec as it entered Confederation. That, in capsule form, is the story that seemed to take centuries for many of us to learn in school. The details get fuzzy over time and few of us paid that much attention in the first place. But walking around Quebec is another story. The musty old history lessons come alive as abstract words in a book are replaced by real buildings and streets that transport us to a different era.

Extractions: Historical Retrospective At the time when Europeans furrowed the seas looking for new spaces to conquer, American Indians already had long been occupying the site of Quebec. They had founded an important center named Stadaconé . Many signs seem to confirm that this center was on the cliff of Cap Diamant Stadaconé was the capital of a small region: Canada (the village in American Indian). At this time Hochelaga (Montreal) had authority on the people of the valley. Jacques Cartier was the first European to spend wintertime in Quebec. He settled in 1535, during his second trip to America. The navigator set up his camp at the jonction of the St-Charles and Lairet rivers (the Lairet is now covered and canalized). This settlement is costly in human life because of Scurvy (due to a Vitamine C deficiency). It's an American Indian remedy, made with white cedar leaves and bark that cured the disease. Cartier din't find gold or treasures, or the road to India. However, he discovered a large river, American Indian culture, tobacco, and contributed to the progress of geography. In 1541, Cartier settled in the roadstead of

Extractions: Current motorcycle plate How it all began... The City of Montreal first began registering cars in 1904, They issued annual porcelain tags, color coded to the year. Unfortunately it is not known if these were dated or read "Montreal" since none are known to have survived. 1906 would have been the last year for these tags because in May of that year, the province took over registration . Plates with a 'Q' prefix were to be provided by the owner. They could be made of whatever material was handy, or even painted directly on the car, as was done by Ucal H. Dandurand who registered the first car, and painted "Q 1" in a red rectangle on the rear of his 1902 DeDion-Bouton. Fortunately, this car, and registration number have been preserved in a museum in Montreal. Later, PQ (Province de Quebec) instead of 'Q' was used for the provincial designation. When the province started supplying the license plates in 1911, they were made of fiberboard (pressed cardboard), color coded to the year. If it weren't for preserved records, these would be a challenge to date correctly! Interestingly, they used this material up until 1924 and, since the plates weren't supposed to last more than a year, it didn't matter that the material wouldn't hold up over time. Finding these fiberboard plates in decent condition is a challenge. Most are found warped and with little paint remaining.

Extractions: THE HISTORY OF CANADA The Quebec Act of 1774 The loyalty of the new province was soon put to the test. Within a year of the passing of the Quebec Act, the rebelling 13 Atlantic colonies sent two armies north to capture the "fourteenth colony." Sir Guy Carleton, the British governor of Canada, narrowly escaped capture when one of these armies, under Richard Montgomery, took Montreal. Carleton reached Quebec in time to organize its small garrison against the forces of Benedict Arnold. Arnold began a siege of the fortress, in which he was soon joined by Montgomery. In the midwinter fighting that followed, Montgomery was killed and Arnold wounded. When spring came, the attacking forces retreated. During the rest of the American Revolutionary War, there was no further fighting on Canadian soil.

http://www.linksnorth.com/canada-history/quebecsep.html

Extractions: THE HISTORY OF CANADA Quebec Separatism Beginning in the 1960s Quebec was the center of militant agitation to separate it from Canada and establish a French-speaking nation. In 1969 French and English were both declared the official languages of Canada. In 1970 terrorist acts by alleged separatists were climaxed by the kidnapping and murder of Quebec's minister of labor and immigration, Pierre Laporte. The federal government sent in troops and temporarily suspended civil liberties. In 1974 French became the official language of the province. A party pledged to Quebec separatism won the 1976 provincial election and passed several measures to strengthen the movement. Under a controversial law adopted in 1977, education in English-language schools was greatly restricted. The charter also changed English place-names and imposed French as the language of business, court judgments, laws, government regulations, and public institutions. Although the separatist party retained power, a referendum to make the province an independent country was rejected by the Quebec voters in 1980. The Quebec government opposed the 1982 constitution, which included a provision for freedom of language in education, and unsuccessfully sought a veto over constitutional change. In 1984 the Supreme Court ruled against Quebec's schooling restrictions. In 1987 the Meech Lake constitutional accord recognized Quebec as a "distinct society" and transferred extensive new powers to all the provinces. Quebec promised that it would accept the 1982 constitution if the accord was approved by all the rest of the provinces. The House of Commons ratified the Meech Lake accord on June 22, 1988, but the accord died on June 23, 1990, after Newfoundland and Manitoba withheld their support. A new set of constitutional proposals hammered out by a parliamentary committee was agreed upon in 1992. They called for decentralization of federal powers, an elected Senate, and special recognition of Quebec as a distinct society. In a referendum held in October 1992, Canadians decisively turned down the constitutional changes. Quebec voters narrowly rejected secession from Canada in a 1995 referendum.

Quebec is bordered by Ontario, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and several American states. The St. Lawrence River is the province's central geographical feature, and links the Atlantic Ocean with the Great Lakes. The St. Lawrence lowlands are dotted with more than a million lakes and rivers. Hudson's Bay dominates the northwestern portion of the province, and Quebec's northern forests are some of the largest in the world. Quebec was originally inhabited the Algonquin and Iroquois Aboriginal people in the south and the Inuit in the north. The Europeans arrived with French explorer Jacques Cartier in 1534, and the thriving fur trade brought many French and British colonists. Quebec City, founded in 1608, became the capital of New France and was built into a fortified city, the only one north of Mexico City. The French-English rivalry in North America led to the Seven Years' War which saw the fall of Quebec City to British forces in 1759, when New France became a colony of Britain. Britain did, however, agree to protect the French language and culture in this colony. In 1791, the colony was split to create Upper Canada (now Ontario) and Lower Canada. In 1867, the province of Quebec was created as a founding member of the new Dominion of Canada.
