This is how it started: in 1534, French navigator Jacques Cartier landed on the Gaspé Peninsula claiming the territory in the name of France and naming it Canada. Several voyages later, in 1608, the City of Quebec was founded as a capital of New France…

New France, Lower Canada, the province of Quebec—so many names it carried through ages always playing a significant role in history and economic development of Canada.

This is who we are today: almost 8 million Quebekers—a quarter of the total number of Canadians—living and working in the province famous for its cutting-edge industry and cultural events, universities and research centers, social programs and French heritage.
