    Program Description

    Quebec, la belle province, is Canada's largest and oldest province. Located in the eastern part of the country, it is bordered on the south by the states of New York and Maine. The northern reaches of the province fall just short of the Arctic Circle. Nearly all of the population live in the lowlands along Canada's most important river, the St. Lawrence. Quebec's economy has long depended on the transportation afforded by the St. Lawrence and on its many sources of water power.

    Eight out of ten Quebeco are descendants of French colonists who founded New France in the 1600s. Quebec's community maintained its culture, religion, and native tongue even after France lost its empire to the British. Pride in its French identity led Quebec to declare French its official language in 1977 and to make an effort to negotiate withdrawal from the Canadian Federation in 1980. Today the anglophone (English-speaking) and francophone (French-speaking) cultures continue to coexist in Quebec.
