Students head for Quebec
On Tuesday, May 27 at 7 a.m.
the Grade 8 class, their teacher,
Dave Bartlett, and eight parents,
Jean McBumey, Linda Campbell,
Barb Pletch, Barb Black, Linda
Knight, Laurie Procter, Marian
Hussey and Donna Snowden,
boarded the bus with driver John
Nymeyer at East Wawanosh Public
School for a three-night stay at the
Hotel Plaza, Quebec.
After arrival and check-in, dinner
was enjoyed at the Bonaparte
Restaurant, a unique stone house
restaurant built in 1830. Everyone
experienced true French cuisine
with a French-Canadian accordion
ist entertaining with songs and
music.
The next morning, after enjoying
a full American breakfast, everyone
boarded the bus for a two and a half
hour city tour, including Lower
Quebec, the Plains of Abraham and
the Legislative Buildings. The city
tour ended with a walk through Old
Quebec.
After a quick lunch break at a
nearby restaurant and shopping in
the Old City, everyone met at the
citadel for a guided tour atop Cap
Diamant. Overlooking the
battlefields, the citadel forms the
east flank of the fortifications of
Quebec. The construction of the
citadel was started in 1820 by the
British and completed over the next
30 years.
Departing from the citadel
everyone walked right on Rue Ste
Louis, over to Mussee du Fort and
on to Rice Ste Anne. Quebec was
viewed as it was in 1750 with re
enactments of the six sieges of
Quebec, including the battle of the
Plains of Abraham and the
American invasion in 1775.
After meeting the motor coach at
the "Chateau Frontenanc" everyone
returned to the hotel to freshen up
for the evening and enjoy supper at
a nearby restaurant. Some used the
pool, whirlpool and sauna, then
everyone enjoyed the student dance
cruise on the St. Lawrence River
aboard the M/V Louis Jolliet. It
was an extraordinary evening the
teenagers won't forget, as the M/V
Louis Jolliet converted to a floating
discotheque. In the changing
natural setting, the DJ lined up the
latest "dance" and "techno" hits to
entertain the crowd.
On Thursday, May 29 after
breakfast the coach was boarded
for a four and a half hour coach
tour to Ste. Anne de Beaupie and
the surrounding areas, seeing the
spectacular view of Montmorency
Falls, Ste. Anne de Beapre
Bascilica and the 90-metre ski
jump. A traditional French-
Canadian hot lunch was enjoyed at
the Sucrenie Verret with musical
entertainment. After lunch the
students enjoyed outdoor games
including volleyball and horseshoes
as well as a taffy pull.
Upon returning to Quebec City, a
self-guided walking tour of "Old
Quebec" commenced at Place
Royale.
Everyone met the coach at the
Chateau Frontenac to go to Les
Galleries de la Capitale where they
had time to shop, have dinner and
enjoy the many amusements
located in the mall.
Upon returning to the hotel many
again enjoyed the swimming pool,
sauna and whirlpool among other
things.
On Friday, May 30 after
breakfast, it was time for check out
and departure from Quebec City for
Belgrave.
An enjoyable trip was had by all.
