MOTION

 

Moved by Councillor G. Bédard

Seconded by Councillor M. Bellemare

 

Whereas this year marks the 400th anniversary of Quebec City.

 

And whereas celebrating Quebec City across the country is a way to highlight: the foundation of one of the first cities in Canada, the meeting place for several nations, the point of entry for immigrants, and the starting point for the conquest of other territories by several famous explorers who made Canada what it is today.

 

And whereas Quebec City is inviting all Canadians across the territories of every province from sea to sea to make this their celebration.

 

Be it therefore resolved that the City of Ottawa will send its greetings and congratulations to Quebec City and will join with Quebec City and other major cities in a gesture of fraternity, by ringing the bells of City Hall at 11 a.m. on July 3, which is the estimated time when Champlain first set foot on the soil where he would later found Quebec City.

 

And be it further resolved that the Clerk invites all of the City’s churches to join in this communal activity.

 

And be it further resolved that the City of Ottawa has declared July 3 to be Quebec City Day.
