    Désolé si c'est en anglais. Je l'ai écrit dans cette langue pour le mettre dans la section canadienne et je n'ai pas le temps de faire la traduction maintenant! I have tremendous, tremendous respect for the following restoration project but before I go futher, a little history for context: The Augustines sisters arrived in Quebec City from Dieppe in 1639 and they subsequently founded the Hotel-Dieu, the first hospital in North America, in 1644. The hospital and its adjacent monastery have stood on this site ever since. Nowadays, the hospital is made up of a collection of buildings, the oldest of which dates back to 1698. The premises are home to one of the most important sets of heritage buldings in Old Quebec, because of its architecture, its surrounding wall and extensive garden, one of the few green spaces dating from the first decades of the colony. The vocation and beauty of this heritage site already commands respect but what the Augustine Sisters recently decided to do with it deserves admiration. For obvious reasons, the number of Sisters has been declining steadily for the last few decades and with not enough young recruits to ensure the continuation of the Monastery as a uniquely religious institution, the Sisters had to think outside the box. The Sisters, which over the years founded 12 monastery-hospitals throughout Quebec, consider their heritage to be of national interest. In order to ensure the preservation of their cultural heritage, the Sisters enthrusted their historical estate in a social utility trust with the population of Quebec as principal beneficiary. They also put in place a contingency fund to ensure the sustainability of the project. Most of the archives and historical collections of their 12 monastery-hospitals were then rapatriated to their Old Quebec mother house, which has recently been transformed in a living place of memory. The vocation of the site is now multifold: - It houses a museum with a collection of 40 000 objects, many dating bck to New France. - Its archives center contains many very old documents and books accessible to all for research. - The old dormitories were transformed into a wellness center offering a wide range of activities centered around a comtemporary global health approach. - Finally, the monastery will continue its mission to assist the families of the patients staying at the hospital. This project certainly isn't to most flashy one but it still is a favourite of mine.

    La reconstruction du manège militaire est en branle et la fin des travaux est prévue pour la fin de 2017. Le nouvel édifice ressemblera évidemment à l'original mais un édifice moderne sera annexé à l'ancien. http://www.lapresse.ca/le-soleil/actualites/la-capitale/201510/07/01-4907755-la-cloture-de-chantier-du-manege-militaire-plait-aux-commercants.php http://www.stgm.net/fr/projets/manege-militaire-de-quebec

    La Ville de Québec, via l'organisme Québec International qui a chapeauté la venue de Larian à Québec, travaille d'arrache-pied pour faire venir des travailleurs en T.I.C. à Québec parce-que c'est un domaine qui fonctionne extrêmement bien et il y a beaucoup de concurrence pour attirer des programmeurs non seulement entre studios (Frima, Ubisoft, Beenox, Sarbakan, Volta, Ex Machina, Larian, etc) mais également entre d'autres entreprises en T.I.C., notamment en optique-photonique, développement de logiciel, électronique, géospatial, services-conseils, etc. Il y a également plusieurs compagnies internationales qui, à l'instar d'Éricsson à Montréal, décide d'établir des centres de recherche et d'innovation à Québec comme Fujitsu, Thales ou ABB. Cela sans compter les compagnies fondées à Québec et qui continue d'y investir comme CGI. Bref, les compagnies doivent faire preuve d'ingéniosité pour attirer des travailleurs, comme Ubisoft a fait plus tôt cet été pour créer un outil promotionnel en partenariat avec le Festival d'Été:

    Arrêtes ça je vais rougir!! J'aime ma ville (sans être aveugle à ses lacunes) alors partager ces nouvelles et aider les gens de l'extérieur à voir cette ville comme je la vois n'est aucunement une corvée. Content de savoir que ça intéresse du monde!!

    One of my favourite restoration project in Quebec City was recently unveiled: the Maison de la Littérature de Québec. Part of this institution of litterature is housed in what used to be the Wesley Temple, a methodist church build in 1848. A new building covered in metallic gold mesh was also built right next to the church. The House of literature houses a public library, a permanent exhibition on Quebec literature as well as writing cabinets, a comics workshop, a design studio, a writers' residence, etc. It also offers a varied program on Quebec's literary scene all year round. This kind of institution, though not as obvious as a museum, really strengthens the cultural foundation of a city. This project really is a fantastic restauration example. In fact, Quebec's architects seem to have become experts in restaurating old churches based of the conversion of these churches into libraries, reception halls and even a circus school http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showpost.php?p=6460441&postcount=64 http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showpost.php?p=6993075&postcount=114 http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showpost.php?p=4963741&postcount=7 http://www.stekar.com/realisations/institutionnel http://jplabrie.com/albums/corporate-corporatif/

    Ex Machina, a theater/opera/multimedia company founded by world renowned stage director Robert Lepage, has been working hard to build itself a new HQ in Quebec City for some time now. The first rendering of their proposal, which will integrate the old YMCA building built in 1879, has been published today. Here's the building in 1890: http://www.lapresse.ca/le-soleil/actualites/dossiers/dhier-a-aujourdhui/201509/05/01-4898184-le-ymca-de-place-dyouville-en-1890.php http://www.lapresse.ca/le-soleil/arts-et-spectacles/sur-scene/201512/09/01-4929446-le-diamant-se-devoile.php

    Quebec's Parliement building will undergo a $60M expansion shortly. As underscored by the rendering, the expansion will be mostly underground and will have almost no impact on the appearance of the building. Most of the new space will serve to accomodate the 120 000 tourists who visit the Parliement each year and to enhance the overall security. Two additional conference rooms will also be built to accomodate the parliamentarians. http://www.journaldequebec.com/2015/11/12/feu-vert-a-lagrandissement-de-lassemblee-nationale

    Construction of a new 10-story, $30M Marriot Courtyard has begun in Lebourgneuf. Just like the part of town where it is being built, it is rather generic looking. Still, it is a big step up from what it is replacing: https://www.google.ca/maps/@46.83421,-71.280335,3a,75y,323.9h,94.71t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1spZapDy_JFb_VhQkN9HCaBQ!2e0 http://www.lapresse.ca/le-soleil/affaires/actualite-economique/201505/11/01-4868893-un-marriott-dans-lebourgneuf.php
