New information booth

In view of raising public awareness about the Jesuits' settlement in Québec in 1625-26, on the actual Cartier-Brébeuf site, a new information booth has been set-up along the banks of the Saint-Charles River. With the help of interpretation panels, visitors will discover historic themes pertaining to Ignatus of Loyola and the Society of Jesus, the arrival of Jesuit missionaries, one of which was Jean de Brébeuf, the Notre-Dame-des-Anges Residence and the Huron Seminary.

"Who is ... ACER SACCHARUM?"

(Educational activity for school daycare students)

This new 90-minute activity allows students to discover all the native Canadian uses for maple sap, taste its sweetness, and slip on snowshoes to become familiar with the wonders of the sugar maple.

"Ambassador"

Through the "Ambassador" programme, Parks Canada wishes to encourage visitors to come back to our national historic sites with their friends and family.

So, the next time you visit one of our participating sites (Artillery Park, Fortifications of Québec, Cartier-Brébeuf, Old Port of Québec Interpretation Centre and Lévis Forts), ask for your ambassador privilege. This way, when you return with your friends and family, your visit will be free of charge.

This privilege will be valid for a year.

For more information, please contact the participating sites:

• Artillery Park National Historic Site of Canada
• Fortifications of Québec National Historic Site of Canada
• The Old Port of Québec Interpretation Centre
• Lévis Forts National Historic Site of Canada
