In response to the COVID-19 crisis, the Archéo-Québec network, whose mission is to promote the archaeological wealth of Quebec, is proposing a new formula for Archeology Month 2020, presented both virtually and face-to-face. Thus, as of today (until August 31), visitors will be able to walk in the footsteps of the past thanks to the activities offered in participating museums and cities across Quebec, in addition to take advantage of a variety of workshops and diverse content online on the site www.moisdelarcheo.com. In the photo, the comedian Rosalie Vaillancourt, who is the new spokesperson for Archeology Month 2020.
Good retirement

After more than 33 years in the automotive world, including the last 24 with Scotiabank, retirement time has come for the sympathetic Louis Chabot (Photo). Louis retains only good memories of all the years he sometimes spent traveling the roads of Quebec to meet his clients who later became friends. Passionate about traveling (he has made several, qualifying through his performances with the Bank over the years), he would now like to visit Australia and French Polynesia. But in the meantime, a good book and cooking lessons await him to furnish his retirement leisure.

July 31, 1970. Cities adjacent to Quebec were having great difficulty coping with the growing demand for drinking water, for improved infrastructure and municipal services. This is how with the mayor’s talent for bringing people together Gilles Lamontagne, Neufchâtel, Duberger, Ville Les Saules and Charlesbourg Ouest are officially merged with Ville de Québec. In the photo, the church of Sainte-Monique-des-Saules.
