of Canada on July 1, 1867.

Rolling countryside
in the Eastern Townships: the bustle of cosmopolitan Montreal:
villages along the historic St. Lawrence: skiing in the picturesque Laurentians: all
these are highlights of Canada's largest province. Above all,
nearly four centuries of French language and culture have made
Quebec one of the most fascinating regions of the new world.
Rich in history, beauty, and joie de vivre, Quebec is a magnet
for tourists. Like neighbouring Ontario, Quebec is a major
industrial centre, as well as a leader in forest products and
minerals.
