Québec

This memorial is dedicated to the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Quebec was erected by the Association Québécoise des Vétérans du Vietnam in memory of the Quebec Veterans, war dead and missing in action of the Vietnam War.

Beauceville was one of the 140 communities selected from the more than 400 applications received by the Canadian Garden Council. The garden was erected by Beauceville Horticultural & Ecological Society. Each of the 140 new 70th Anniversary Dutch-Canadian Friendship Tulip Gardens across the country will consist of 700 red and white tulip bulbs (350 of each colour) donated by Vesey’s Bulbs in Prince Edward Island.

The Garden was planted in fall 2015. In Quebec tulip bulbs generally bloom between the end of April and the beginning of June depending on the type of tulip and where it’s planted.

The memorial is dedicated as a living monument in recognition of the 70th Anniversary of the original Dutch-Canadian Friendship Tulip Garden planted in Ottawa at the end of World War II in 1945. The memorial is in appreciation of the safe haven that members of Holland’s exiled royal family received during World War II, and in recognition of the role Canadian troops played in the liberation of the Netherlands.

This memorial is dedicated to the veterans of Saint-Martin of the First and Second World Wars. It was erected in 1990-1991 by the Veterans Committee. Financial contributions by the families of veterans who died in the First and Second World Wars and businesses and associations of the area made this memorial possible.

Erected in 1958 by local subscription, this memorial is dedicated to the memory of the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars. The central stele bears an image of the badge of Le Régiment de la Chaudière.

Erected by Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 249 and the municipality of Beauce-Dorchester, this memorial was unveiled on 23 October 1983. It is dedicated to the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. The image of the Canadian Forces' badge is depicted on the front of the shaft.

This memorial, unveiled by Mayor J. Raymond Mathieu on 3 June 1990, was erected by Le Régiment de la Chaudière in honour of its Second World War dead.

The War Memorial Library in Hudson is a non-profit registered charity providing a subscription library of printed and digital materials, primarily in the English language, to the residents of Hudson, Quebec and surrounding communities. Operated by volunteers, the Library is self-financing through membership fees, donations and fund raising activities. The Library in turn donates, to local charities, funds in excess of its own needs. The building and the Library serve as a memorial to those in Hudson who served in the Canadian Armed Forces.

Hudson’s two libraries are the Como Lending Library and the War Memorial Library. The first one was founded in 1849 and though most of it was destroyed in a fire in 1988, it is still in operation at the rebuilt St. Mary’s Parish Hall. St. Mary's Anglican Church was built in 1867 in Gothic Revival Style (but without the buttresses). 

Pointe Fortune is named in honour of Colonel William Fortune, member of the Prescott County Militia, Loyalist and veteran of the American Revolution, surveyor and first settler in the town of Pointe-Fortune.

William Fortune was born in Ireland in 1748 and emigrated to North America with his parents and siblings, arriving in Charleston South Carolina in August 1767 aboard the ship Britannia. Upon arrival, the Fortune family members were given land grants in Fairfield District/County in north central South Carolina where William Fortune obtained a 100 acre lot. Married around 1770, not much is known of his young adulthood other than he seems to have remained a Loyalist for much of the American Revolution, and as a member of a Loyalist American regiment in South Carolina, fought at the Battle of Camden and the Battle of Eutaws. It appears that he was captured at one point and may have unwillingly fought under American Colonel Thomas Taylor as William Fortune’s name appears on a list of Taylor’s deserters. Upon cessation of the American Revolution, William Fortune sailed for England in 1783 but returned to North America in 1788, landing in Quebec City. Working as a surveyor, he is granted land in lieu of payment in the area of present-day Plantagenet and in 1797, a further 1000 acres near present-day Pointe-Fortune, where he is considered the first settler of the town. By 1803, William Fortune is a Colonel with the Prescott County Militia but returns to England around 1812. He dies in the village of Hurstpierpoint, England in 1822.

These Rolls of Honour and plaque are in memory of those parishioners who served during the First and Second World Wars, erected by the congregation of St. Thomas Anglican Church in 1946. The restored monument was rededicated by Brig-Gen (Ret'd) Gerald Peddle, OMM, CD, former chaplain general of the Canadian Forces, at a special service held on Sunday November 8th 2009.
