GEORGES-PHILIAS VANIER

Gouverneur général de 1959 à 1967, le général Vanier eut une carrière militaire et diplomatique remarquable. Officier fondateur du Royal 22e Régiment, il servit dans ses rangs durant la Première Guerre mondiale et en fut le commandant de 1925 à 1928. Il représenta le Canada comme attaché militaire à la Société des Nations, comme secrétaire du haut-commissariat à Londres et comme ministre en France. En 1944, il devint le premier ambassadeur du Canada en France. Très estimé de ses soldats et de ses compatriotes, il s’employa, à titre de premier gouverneur général canadien- français depuis la Confédération, à promouvoir l’unité nationale.

Governor General from 1959 to 1967, Vanier had a distinguished military and diplomatic career. A founder of the Royal 22nd Regiment, he served with it in the First World War and was its commanding officer from 1925 to 1928. General Vanier represented Canada as Military Attaché to the League of Nations, Secretary to the Canadian High Commission in London, and Minister to France. In 1944 he became Canada’s first Ambassador to France. He was highly esteemed by his troops and countrymen, and as the first French-Canadian Governor General since Confederation, dedicated himself to promoting national unity.

MAISON CUREUX

Michel Cureux dit Saint-Germain possédait sur cet emplacement une maison que l'ingénieur des fortifications de la Ville de Québec fit détruire en 1709 dans le but de prolonger la muraille qui protégeait la ville. La démolition fut la cause d'un long procès à l'issue duquel Michel Cureux fils, aubergiste, obtint l'autorisation de rebâtir sur le terrain familial demeuré inoccupé pendant vingt ans. Cette maison fut érigée par le maître maçon Jacques Ménard. Son toit à pente aiguë fut remplacé vers 1890 par le toit en mansarde actuel. La maison Cureux, la plus ancienne habitation de la rue Saint-Louis après la maison Jacquet, fut classée en 1965 par la Commission des monuments historiques du Québec.

This plaque commemorates the Maison Cureux, destroyed by the engineer of the Québec fortifications, in 1709, to be able to prolong the protective wall of the city. It brought on a long legal battle and Michel Cureux was able to rebuild elsewhere.
