History of Quebec

Quebec is a society that has persevered through continuous struggles and hardships: long and harsh winters, unpredictable harvests, vast oceans and infinite forests, vast territories without any communication tools, and confrontations with neighbouring nations…

It has been tough, but over 400 years, people of Quebec, supported by their faith, raised large families, established communities, ploughed land, harvested grain, milled lumber, built churches, barns, and homes. The Quebeckers have become a close-knit community and toughened people, deeply devoted to their land and customs.

Despite all the hardship, this people has never lost their gayety and has always found opportunities for celebration: weddings, baptisms, welcome and house-warming parties.
