SUMMARY:Russia\, Ukraine and Vladimir Putin\, Lifelong Learning
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to all adults aged 50+ in the Quebec City area. \nThe Russian attack on Ukraine and the Ukrainians’ amazing resistance is one of the most extraordinary and important events of our lifetime. Its impact will resonate on the world for decades to come. For over a decade Barry has been studying Russian and Ukrainian history\, and has travelled extensively in both countries. He is in daily contact with Ukrainian friends and follows the war closely\, both on a political and military level. \nThis illustrated presentation\, of forty minutes duration\, shows wartime life in the famous Ukrainian city of Odesa and then moves on to a 2015 trip to Moscow to view the 70th anniversary parade of Russia’s winning of the Great Patriotic War. (WWII) Some of the photos are astonishing. \nAfter showing these images\, Barry will move on to try and explain the character and history of the Russian people which has led to this criminal war\, and discuss the personality of Vladimir Putin\, a leader who is the ultimate symbol of Russia’s inability to deal with its turbulent past. \nTO REGISTER: email Catherine at info@lifelonglearningquebec.org\, orcall 418.681.1258. \nSpace is limited. \nSign up for the Lifelong Learning mailing list for updates on activities.

SUMMARY:Travel Log: Lifelong Learning
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to all adults aged 50+ in the Quebec City area. \nPresented by Barry Lane \nCANADIAN PACIFIC AND THE GOLDEN AGE OF TRAVEL \nThe story of Canadian Pacific is one of the greatest stories in the world. Straddling the continent for more than a century and globe for more than fifty years\, Canadian Pacific is inextricably linked with the history of Canada itself. \nIn 1885\, the company completed the construction of two thousand miles of railway system and linking the Atlantic to the Pacific. It then established fleets of vessels on both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans\, laying the foundation for a transportation route that allowed members of the British Empire to travel around the world. To enhance the travel experience\, the company also constructed great castle-like hotels\, including the Algonquin in St. Andrews\, the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City\, and the Banff Springs Hotel in the Rockies\, which themselves became landmarks. \nWith a 40 minute illustrated presentation\, author and lecturer\, Barry Lane will relate this special history\, and then go on to talk about his experiences as a cruise ship lecturer and leader of Trans-Canada rail trip journeys. (He has lectured on at least 200 different cruises in Canada\, the US\, and the Caribbean\, and been leader/lecturer of 15 rail trips across Canada\, all of which stayed in CP’s great railway hotels. He will give you some travel trips for your future travels. \nAs a door prize to the talk\, Barry will also offer a copy of his “sumptuously illustrated\,” 2015 book\, “Canadian Pacific and the Golden Age of Travel \nTO REGISTER: email Catherine at info@lifelonglearningquebec.org\, orcall 418.681.1258. \nSpace is limited. \nSign up for the Lifelong Learning mailing list for updates on activities.
