The Anglican Diocese of Quebec was founded by Letters Patent in 1793 and is a part of the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada of the Anglican Church of Canada, in turn a province of the Anglican Communion. The diocese comprises the 720,000 square kilometres and took it present shape in 1850 with the carving off of what is now the Diocese of Montreal and includes a territory of west to east from Magog to the Gaspe and the Magdalen Islands, south to north from the United States border to Kawawachikamach and the communities of the Lower North Shore.
The diocesan office is located in Quebec City, as is the Holy Trinity Anglican Cathedral, founded in 1804. The diocese maintains approximately 7,200 on its parish rolls in 52 parishes, averaging one member per 100km². Dennis Drainville was elected Coadjutor Bishop of Quebec on 12 October 2007 and was installed as the 12th Bishop of Quebec on 31 May 2009.
With both the dioceses of Quebec and Montreal having less than 10,000 members and decreasing numbers, discussions are underway for the eventual merger of the two dioceses, beginning with an exploration of opportunities for combined administration.
.quebec is a new GeoTLD and Community Priority Application that was proposed to ICANN's New gTLD Program by PointQuébec, a non-profit organisation. The organisation aims to improve the businesses, culture, tourism, and online identity of Quebec and the Quebecois through the .quebec TLD. According to the PointQuébec organisation, .quebec will allow all Quebecers to register their domain names under .quebec.
PointQuébec's application for the GeoTLD was approved, and was delegated to the Root Zone on 16 April 2014. The application was supported by the Quebec National Assembly and other cultural, technical, and economic institutions in the city. It received "substantial financial support from the Québec government", and is a not-for profit organisation. The organisation will verify legitimate registrations via statements of intent through a post-verification registration system. quebec officially launched on November 18, 2014.
Along with TLDs such as .cat and .africa, .quebec and other new TLDs fall into the new category of GeoTLDs. The issue of new top level domains in general and .quebec in particular has been discussed at various ICANN-Meetings since 2005.
Quebec (i/kwᵻˈbɛk/ or /kəˈbɛk/; French:Québec[kebɛk]) is the second-most populous province in Canada. It is the only Canadian province that has a predominantly French-speaking population, and the only one to have French as its sole provincial official language.
Quebec is Canada's second most populous province, after Ontario. Most inhabitants live in urban areas near the Saint Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec City, the capital. Approximately half of Quebec residents live in the Greater Montreal Area, including the Island of Montreal. English-speaking communities and English-language institutions are concentrated in the west of the island of Montreal but are also significantly present in the Outaouais, Eastern Townships, and Gaspé regions. The Nord-du-Québec region, occupying the northern half of the province, is sparsely populated and inhabited primarily by Aboriginal peoples. The climate around the major cities is four-season continental with cold and snowy winters combined with warm to hot humid summers, but further north long winter seasons dominate and as a result the northern areas of the province are marked by tundra conditions. Even in central Quebec at comparatively southerly latitudes winters are very severe in inland areas.
In 1995, Parliament passed the Firearms Act, which required long gun owners to register their guns. The Supreme Court found that the Act was intra vires the federal criminal law power. In 2012, Parliament repealed the requirement to register long guns through the Ending the Long-gun Registry Act (ELRA) and sought to delete the information in its registry. The province of Quebec, wishing to create and maintain its own long gun registry, requested that the federal government share the data it had collected about Quebec long gun owners. When the federal government declined to share the information, Quebec argued that section 29 of the ELRA, the provision disbanding the long gun registry, was ultra vires the federal government.
At trial in the Superior Court of Quebec, the trial judge found that section 29 was unconstitutional as it violated the principle of cooperative federalism given that Quebec had take part in "gathering, analyzing, organizing, and modifying" the data in question. The trial judge required the federal government to share the information with Quebec.

Reminder of Press release:
Quebec City, May 28, 2024 - Today's noontime launch of the Cathedral Gardens phase 1 saw the inauguration of a captivating work of art by the great Canadian sculptor Timothy Schmalz in the heart of Old Québec, in front of Cathedral of Holy Trinity, the first Anglican cathedral built outside the British Isles.
In addition to Tim Schmalz and the Very Reverend Christian Schreiner, Dean of the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Bishop Bruce Myers from the Anglican Diocese of Quebec several other dignitaries were present. Two members of the Quebec City executive committee, Ms. Mélissa Coulombe-Leduc, Cap-aux-Diamants city councillor, and Mr. David Weiser, Plateau city councillor, Mgr. Marc Pelchat (auxiliary bishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Quebec) and Mr. Boufeldja Benabdallah (co-founder and spokesman for the Islamic Cultural Centre of Quebec) took part in the launch, along with a fine representation of Quebec City’s Anglican community.
The Cathedral Gardens will emphasize the site’s rich past, which can be discovered at www.jardinsdelacathedrale.ca/en. The work, which begins now, will take place over the next four years. A great opportunity to bring gardens back to the Rue des Jardins! In the 18th century, the street was bordered by the large gardens of three of Quebec City’s founding religious communities: the Ursulines, the Jesuits and the Récollets. The new gardens will be a meeting place where people of all origins and beliefs are welcome.
A project masterfully conceived by Groupe A / Annexe U, represented today
by architects Érick Rivard and Maxime Rochette.
A sculpture that expresses the welcoming theme of the Gardens. The sculpture is part of the Be Welcoming series, present on the Camino de Compostela in Spain, in San Giovanni Rotondo in Italy, in Toronto, Chicago and now Quebec City.
As we learn from the artist's website, “The sculpture is a visual interpretation of what is considered one of the most beautiful, poetic passages in the Bible (Hebrews 13:2). The sculpture shows a weary traveler/pilgrim who visually transforms into an angel when one walks over to the seat”.
