      -- Infiniment Québec [DVD] (2008) Directed by Jean-Claude Labrecque
      By Labrecque, Jean-Claude, 1938-  Morris, Georges
       c2008., General, National Film Board of Canada = Office national du film du Canada Call No: DVD 971.4 L126f    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Jean-Claude Labrecque brings the perspective of a mature director and the memories of a child to this work about Quebec City which in 2008 is celebrating the 400th anniversary of its founding by Samuel de Champlain. The filmmaker makes striking use of water colours, maps, engravings, paintings and photographs to bring to life the past and present of his home town. Whether swept by winter winds or sweltering in the summer sunshine, Quebec City appears intensely alive, despite past war and conquest. It's still characterized by its Cap-aux-Diamants, its slopes and staircases, its freezing winters and its religious heritage. An affectionate and poetic tribute to Quebec, the beacon of French Canada and French North America."--NFB.

      By Neatby, Nicole, 1962-
       2018., McGill-Queen's University Press Call No: 306.4819 N355f    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Studies on the history of Quebec   Volume: 34.Summary Note: "Tourism promoters strive to brand their destinations in anticipation of what they think travellers hope to experience. In turn, travel writers react in part to destinations in line with their expectations. While several scholars have documented such patterns elsewhere, these have remained understudied in the case of Quebec despite the frequency with which the province was branded and rebranded and its status as a major North American travel destination in the decades leading up to Expo 67. The first comprehensive history of Quebec tourism promotion and travel writing, From Old Quebec to La Belle Province details changing marketing strategies and shows how these efforts consistently mirrored and strengthened French Quebec's evolving national identity. Nicole Neatby also takes into account the contentious role of English-speaking promoters in Montreal, belying the view that Quebec was unvaryingly represented and appreciated for being "old." Taking a comparative approach, Neatby draws on books and a wide array of newspapers, popular and specialized magazines, as well as written and visual sources from outside the tourist genre to reveal how the distinct national and cultural identities of English Canadians, Americans, and French Quebecers profoundly shaped their expectations and reactions to the province. From Old Quebec to La Belle Province traces and explains shifting tourism promotional priorities and varying travel writers' reactions over the course of four decades and how in tune they were with evolving national identities."--

      By MacGregor, Roy, 1948-
       2017., General, Random House Canada Call No: 333.91 M145o    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Expanding on his Globe and Mail series, columnist Roy MacGregor tells the story of our country through the stories of its original highways, and how they sustain our spirit, identity and economy--past, present and future. No country is more blessed with fresh water than Canada. From the mouth of the Fraser River in BC, to the Bow in Alberta, the Red in Manitoba, the Gatineau, the Saint John and the most historic of all Canada's rivers, the St. Lawrence, Roy MacGregor, has paddled, sailed and traversed their lengths, learned their stories and secrets, and the tales of centuries lived on their rapids and riverbanks. He raises lost tales, like that of the Great Tax Revolt of the Gatineau River, and reconsiders histories like that of the Irish would-be settlers who died on Grosse Ile and the incredible resilience of settlers in the Red River Valley. Along the Grand, the Ottawa and others, he meets the successful conservationists behind the resuscitation of polluted wetlands, including even Toronto's Don, the most abused river in Canada (where he witnesses families of mink, returned to play on its banks). Long before our national railroad was built, our rivers held Canada together; in these sixteen portraits, filled with yesterday's adventures and tomorrow's promise, a story of Canada and its ongoing relationship with its most precious resource."--Provided by publisher.

      By Fonda, Nick, 1949-  Palmer, Dennis, 1948-
       2010., Baraka Books of Montreal Call No: QWF 971.4 F673r    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: This unusual, sometimes quirky, road book works like a mosaic. Its stones are the brief histories, candid snapshots, curious anecdotes, insights, reflections, and stories to make you smile. The big picture is a moving portrait of a little known but historically important corner of Canada - Quebec's Eastern Townships. Nick Fonda masterfully puts you behind the wheel - sometimes in the train's engine - and lets you meander through the Townships to meet the people who make the places unique and where the famous two solitudes have grown entwined. With new and thoughtful illustrations, Denis Palmer captures Nick Fonda's take on a part of the world that deserves to be better known.
