The monument was inaugurated in October 29, 2010 by Minister Josée Verner. It pays tribute to our soldiers deployed around the world in defence of peace, justice and freedom. The monument was created thanks to donations from listeners of two Quebec City radio stations, Radio X CHOI 98.1 and Radio X2 Rock 100.9, with the help of McDonald’s restaurants in Quebec City and the surrounding area. The funds needed to complete the project were raised by producing stickers reading “Merci aux troupes”, which were offered for sale for $2 at McDonald’s restaurants. The enthusiastic response resulted in all 12,000 stickers being sold within a couple of weeks. As a result, no public funds were required for the construction of the monument.

L'ÉGLISE NOTRE-DAME-DES-VICTOIRES
NOTRE-DAME-DES-VICTOIRES CHURCH

Cette église, qui occupe le site de l'Habitation de Champlain, a été érigée à la fin du XVIIe siècle. L'édifice actuel porte la signature d'architectes aussi réputés que les Baillif, Maillou et Baillargé. Son nom rappelle la victoire de 1690 et celle de 1711 sur la flotte anglaise. Elle fut détruite en 1759, mais l'intérêt populaire pour ce lieu de culte permit de la faire renaître de ses cendres. Symbole de la présence française en Amérique, cette église est le fruit de plusieurs programmes de construction traduisant les styles successifs qui forment le riche patrimoine architectural de la ville de Québec.

This church, which occupies the site of Champlain's Habitation, was built in the late 17th century and bears the signature of suh renowed architects as Baillif, Maillou and Baillargé. It was named for the two French victories of 1690 and 1711 over the British fleet. The church was destroyed during the siege of 1759 but, owing to popular interest in this place of worship, a symbol of the French presence in Canada, it was rebuilt. The present church is the result of several building programs, each reflecting the successive styles which now give form to Quebec City's rich architectural heritage.

SIR FREDERICK HALDIMAND
(1718-1791)

Frederick Haldimand, soldat de carrière d'origine suisse, s'enrôla dans l'armée britannique en 1755 et fut promu avec le temps au grade de général. En 1758, il combattit à Carillon. Deux ans plus tard, il participa à la prise de Montréal. Gouverneur de la province de Québec de 1778 à 1786, il dirigea la colonie au cours des années difficiles de la Révolution américaine. En 1779, il fit construire le canal de Coteau-du-Lac. À la fin de la guerre d'Indépendance, il s'occupa personnellement de l'établissement des Loyalistes et des Indiens alliés à la Couronne dans la région qui devint le Haut-Canada. Il mourut en Suisse.

Frederick Haldimand, a Swiss-born career soldier, entered the British army in 1755 and rose to the rank of general. In 1758 he served at Carillon and participated in the capture of Montréal two years later. As governor of the Province of Quebec from 1778 to 1786 Haldimand managed the colony through the critical years of the American Revolution. He ordered the construction of the canal at Coteau-du-Lac in 1779, and at the close of the American war personally arranged and supervised the settlement of the Loyalists and Indian allies of the Crown in the region that became Upper Canada. He died in Switzerland.

This is the Très Saint-Sacrement de Québec church. On June 3, 2010, this church was officially designated a “Sanctuaire pour la Paix”. It has taken over for the former "Monument de Paix", the Mont-Thabor chapel, which closed on November 7, 2009. Several military articles are now on display there. And at least once a year, an official ceremony is held there, in accordance with this new appellation of “Sanctuaire de Paix”.

The Wolfe-Montcalm Monument was unveiled on 8 September 1828, as requested by Governor Lord Dalhousie. It is dedicated to Marquis Louis-Joseph de Montcalm and General James Wolfe, who both died at the same battle but on opposite sides. The inscription on the top plaque translates as: "Their courage brought them the same end, the same fame; posterity, the same monument".

On April 12, 2010, Parks Canada historical restorers started dismantling the monument. They were assisted by Genivar, the engineering firm responsible for labelling and measuring the stones. The Wolfe-Montcalm Monument was rebuilt, mainly using new stones and restored its original beauty and sturdiness.
