 Things to do in
Quebec
|
Wandering at random through the streets of Vieux-Québec is a singular
pleasure, comparable to exploring a provincial capital in Europe. On the
way, you can happen upon an ancient convent, blocks of gabled houses
with steeply pitched roofs, a battery of 18th-century cannons in a leafy
park, and a bistro with a blazing fireplace on a wintry day. The Old
City, Upper and Lower, is so compact that it's hardly necessary to plan
precise sightseeing itineraries. Start at the Terrasse Dufferin
alongside the Château Frontenac and go off on a whim, down Breakneck
Stairs (Escalier Casse-Cou) to the Quartier du Petit-Champlain and
Place-Royale, or out of the walls to the military fortress of the
Citadelle that overlooks the mighty St. Lawrence River and onto the
Plains of Abraham, where Generals James Wolfe of Britain and
Louis-Joseph, Marquis de Montcalm of France fought to their mutual
deaths in a 20-minute battle that changed the destiny of the continent.
Most of the historic sights are within the city walls of Vieux-Québec's
Haute-Ville (Upper Town) and Basse-Ville (Lower Town). It's all fairly
easy walking. While the Upper Town is hilly, with sloping streets, it's
nothing like, say, San Francisco. Other sights are outside the walls of
the Upper Town, along or just off of the grand boulevard called Grande-Allée |
The Quebec City summer festival-This
festival proves that the Quebecois can party even in temperate weather. Each day
features dozens of musical performers from around the world at outdoor venues
and popular locations like the Pub Saint-Alexandre. All of the
biggest names in Quebec music are on hand. Stroll through Old Quebec and enjoy
music, food, drink, and an overwhelming sense of good cheer. Most shows are
free; others vary from minimal cover charge to assigned seat ticketing.

How I manage common
feline
problems
with
Michael Lappin
D.VM., Ph.D., DACVIM
Professor of Medicine
Colorado State University
Catriona MacPhail
D.VM., Ph.D., DACVS
Assistant Professor of
Surgery
Colorado State University
Dr. Lappin is currently professor and head of small animal
internal medicine at
Colorado
State
University
. Dr. Catriona Macphail is on the surgical staff at
Colorado State.
Dr. MacPhail is teaming up with Dr'.Lappin to provide a balance of opinion - surgery versus medical
management of clinical problems. IVS believes that the
combination of internal medicine and surgery lectures will result in an outstanding continuing
education course for you or your staff.
Dr.'s Lappin and MacPhail work with
practicing veterinarians daily and have vast experiences that enable
them to distill the questions from their general practitioner
colleagues into short practical answers.
We have all been to meetings where you already know 45 minutes
of the material in a 50 minute lecture but have to wait until the very
end to get the new information! In
this seminar series, Drs. Lappin and MacPhail will present the
information that is of practical interest to the practitioner.
The pace is rapid and so the CE is never boring!
