LA CITADELLE DE QUÉBEC
THE QUÉBEC CITADEL

à partir de 1820, l'ingénieur royal Elias Walker Durnford dirige la construction de la Citadelle de Québec. Il complète ainsi le système de défense de la ville dont les premiers ouvrages remontent au Régime français. Aménagées sur les hauteurs du Cap-aux-Diamants, la Citadelle domine la ville, la campagne et la rade de Québec. Son rempart est complété en 1831 et les principaux édifices à l'intérieur, vers 1850. On retrouve aussi la redoute du Cap construite en 1693 par Frontenac et une poudrière de 1750. Depuis 1872, la Citadelle sert de résidence au gouverneur général du Canada qui y séjourne tous les ans.
In 1820 Lieutenat-Colonel Elias Walker Durnford of the Royal Engineers took chrge of the construction of the Québec Citadel, which completed the city's defensive works begun during the French régime. Set on the heights of Cap-aux-Diamants, the Citadel dominated the town, harbour and the surrounding countryside. The ramparts were completed in 1831, and the major buildings within the walls about 1850. The walls also contain Frontenac's 1693 redoubt and a 1750 powder magazine. Since 1872 the Citadel has been an official residence of the Governor General of Canada, who spends part of each year here.

The Boer War Memorial was unveiled on 15 August 1905 in the presence of Lord Grey, Governor-General of Canada, the Prince of Battenberg and officers of six British naval warships. It was dedicated to all Quebecois who were killed in action during the Boer War. This memorial was erected on the site of departure of the first Canadian contingent for South Africa, on 30 October 1899. Sculpted by Hamilton Plantagenet MacCarthy, the statue soldier wears the colonial uniform, holding a rifle in one hand and the Canadian Red Ensign in the other. The brief verses on the right side of the monument are from the pen of Reverend M.F.G. Scott, of Quebec.

Hamilton P. MacCarthy was born on 28 July 1846 in London, England. He studied with his father, sculptor Hamilton Wright MacCarthy and at the Royal Academy Schools. MacCarthy moved to Toronto, Ontario, in 1885. Thirteen years later he moved to Ottawa and studied at the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. MacCarthy had 15 children and his son Coeur de Lion MacCarthy was a sculptor who produced numerous commemorative works after the First World War.

Other memorials by Hamilton MacCarthy include: South African War Memorial and Lieutenant Harold Lothrop Borden Memorial in Nova Scotia; Soldiers Monument in Prince Edward Island; General Isaac Brock Monument, South African War Memorial and Boer War Memorial in Ontario.

The Voltigeurs de Québec Regiment Memorial was unveiled on September 4, 1990. Created by sculptor Raoul Hunter, this bronze was erected to honor the battalion of the Voltigeurs de Québec, the oldest French-Canadian troop corps, formed in 1862. The monument highlights the Voltigeurs' orders of battle, from the Second Fenian Conflict of 1866 to missions with the United Nations. It represents a rifleman, weapon slung over his shoulder, wearing the characteristic cap worn by the soldiers responsible for restoring peace during the conflict with the Métis of the Northwest in 1885.

Québec Printemps 1918

[plaque/plaque]

"Québec, Printemps 1918"

Au printemps 1918, des évènements tragiques marquent l'histoire de la ville de Québec. Le 28 mars de cette année-là et durant cinq jours consécutifs, des citoyens et des citoyennes manifestent leur opposition à la mobilisation obligatoire et aux méthodes prises par les autorités fédérales pour rabattre les conscrits.
Le 1er avril, tout se gâte lorsque les autorités militaires donnent l'ordre aux 1200 soldats anglophones amenés expressément de l'Ontario et de l'Ouest canadien de disperser à la baïonnette, les gens rassemblés au centre-ville. Les cavaliers chargent la foule. Celle-ci, rassemblée à l'angle des rues St-Vallier, Saint-Joseph et Bagot, réagit en lançant des pierres aux soldats. Après avoir lu, en anglais, l'ordre de dispersion, les soldats mitraillent la foule tuant quatre personnes et en blessant soixante-dix autres.
Quatre-vingt ans plus tard, une fleur à pétales humains s'élève en ce lieu au sommet d'une sculpture monumentale. Elle symbolise la vie dont on retrouve la puissance dans le mouvement spontané d'un peuple qui se lève pour défendre ses convictions et qu'on découvre si fragile aussi quand la mort arrive de façon violente comme ce le fut, ce printemps-là pour quatre québécois:
Honoré Bergeron, 49 ans, menuisier
Alexandre Bussières, 25 ans, mécanicien
Georges Demeule, 14 ans, cordonnier et machiniste
Joseph-Édouard Tremblay, 20 ans, étudiant à l'École technique
Cette fleur, ainsi déposée, témoigne du respect qu'inspire aux vivants le souvenir de ceux qui laissèrent ici leur vie.
L'oeuvre "Québec, Printemps 1918", une création d'Aline Martineau, artiste sculpteure de Québec, a été inaugurée le 4 septembre 1998.
Le Comité "Québec, Printemps 1918" remercie ses partenaires financiers: La Ville de Québec, la Commission de la capitale nationale du Québec, le Ministère de la Culture et des Communications du Québec, le Secrétariat au développement des régions du Québec, la Caisse d'économie des travailleuses et des travailleurs (Québec), la Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Québec, ses bénévoles et les associations qui l'ont appuyé ainsi que la population de la ville de Québec qui a souscrit généreusement à la campagne de financement.
