Québec, a family story

For its second series of 52 clips, Quebec, a family story, welcomes the Proulx family. This capsule should be on display the week of November 26.

A short video clip should be made at our next general meeting and then integrated into the capsule. Please come in large numbers.

Here is some information about this initiative. These details are taken from the site http://lequebecunehistoiredefamille.com/

Québec, a family story tells in 52 2-minute clips the highlights of Quebec's history through the epic story of our families.

Each of the clips relates the origin, the places of interest, the famous members and the important events in the political, social or economic history of a Quebec family.
These 52 families have :

• one of the most common French surnames in Quebec
• a surname of English origin, modified or not
• a surname of more recent immigration
• or a native surname

Nowadays, it is often said that History has gone to hell, that we have no memory, that Quebec has amnesia, that History is not really taught well in our schools anymore.
However, one only has to look at the interest in period films, series on our past, historical biographies in book fairs or storytellers like Fred Pellerin to understand that History, when it is delivered with passion, interests the general public.
People are not fooled. If you want to know who you are and where you're going, you'd better know where you come from. It is in this context that Le Québec, une histoire de famille is set.

Airs at various times on TVA and LCN, including on Salut, Bonjour!.

Québec, a family story is produced by La Boîte à Histoire, a production company co-founded by Marie-France Bazzo and Julie Snyder.
