House on Rue Ste-Geneviève in Old Quebec demolished Shirley Nadeau shirley@qctonline.com A vacant house located at 45 Rue Ste-Geneviève near the top of Rue Ste-Ursule was demolished during the night…
This was the scene at 45 Rue Ste-Geneviève after the dilapidated 173-year-old house had been demolished during the night of May 19-20. Local residents were evacuated as a precaution. Those living in number 41 (the blue building on the left) are still not able to return to their apartments due to the proximity of the ongoing demolition work. To the right is the terrasse of the former À la Bastille Chez Bahüaud restaurant, which has also been sitting empty and neglected for many years. (Photo by Shirley Nadeau)
A greater snow goose shows off its beautiful wings. The grey and black tips of their wing feathers are concealed when they are sitting on land or water and are usually only visible when the bird is flying. Their wingspan is around 1.5 m (about five feet) (Photo by Lise Lafond) 
As the new director general of the Quebec City Film Festival, Hugo Latulippe plans to bring back fan-favourite events including the giant outdoor screen at Place D’Youville, master classes and the ciné-concert (Buster Keaton’s The General accompanied by the Violons du Roy is this year’s choice).
