Out & About Program for English Speakers (50+)
The Out & About program by VEQ is a beautiful opportunity for English-speaking seniors aged 50 and over to stay active, engaged, and socially connected. This program provides free transportation to community activities, allowing participants to explore Quebec City and its surroundings. Out & About offers everything, from culture to shopping to nature.
Each week, the program offers a range of exciting outings. Participants can enjoy leisurely shopping trips, browsing local stores and picking up essentials. The program includes trips to l’Île d’Orléans, a charming island with villages, historic sites, and stunning landscapes. Of course, no outing is complete without a treat, so we also include stops for ice cream and other delicious treats along the way.
Upcoming Activity:
Join us for a fun-filled day at the bowling alley at Centre Communautaire Guy Drolet, where you can enjoy a game for just $4. Whether you’re a seasoned bowler or a first-timer, this activity promises a mix of friendly competition and plenty of laughs.
It’s the perfect way to connect with others, engage in light-hearted rivalry, and showcase your skills on the lanes. Afterwards, we’ll have a tasty lunch to relax and celebrate our victories. Who doesn’t love healthy competition and a chance to bond over great food? A day at the bowling alley will bring everyone together for a memorable time.
Contact:
If you’re interested in joining us for this fun-filled day or have any questions about the program, please contact Maria Hoyt and Ariel Blouin at 418-683-2366 x221 or via email at maria.hoyt@veq.ca.
Maria and Ariel can also provide details about bus pick-up locations and times, ensuring you have all the information you need for a seamless and enjoyable experience.
The Out & About program is more than just a series of outings—it’s an opportunity to stay connected, meet new friends, and experience the vibrant community around you. We look forward to having you join us on our next adventure!

Join us for our series of talks in honour of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec’s 200th anniversary. A New Account of Western Canadian Authorship: The Poetry of Margaret Laurence’s Mother-in-LawWhat models of being a writer were available to the young Margaret Laurence (1926–87) in the years leading up to her breakthrough novel, The Stone Angel (1964)? What structures of publishing and authorship were in place to support such an achievement by a woman from the Prairies? Among the Western Canadian authors of the Depression and the interwar period was one whom Margaret particularly acknowledged as a mentor – her husband Jack’s mother, Elsie Fry Laurence (1893–1982). Examining Elsie’s books and periodical contributions sheds new light on the possibilities and limits of being an author in Western Canada. This talk will trace Elsie’s life and career – through her romantic novel written as a governess in imperial Russia, her contributions to the Edmonton Journal and Alberta Poetry Year Book, her Ryerson Poetry Chap-Books, and her later fiction – to show how she carved out a practice of imagining the key roles played by women in rural Canada, a theme that would deeply inspire Margaret. In addition to her books, this account draws on interviews and correspondence with Elsie’s surviving children and grandchildren, thereby assembling an archive for a talented poet whom literary criticism has until now overlooked.
Presenter BiographyEli MacLaren teaches poetry, Canadian literature, and the history of books and publishing in the Department of English at McGill University, where he is currently the director of graduate studies. He is the author of Dominion and Agency: Copyright and the Structuring of the Canadian Book Trade, 1867–1918 (2011) and Little Resilience: The Ryerson Poetry Chap-Books (2020). He is the vice-president of the Bibliographical Society of Canada and a co-researcher at the Groupe de recherches et d’études sur le livre au Québec. As the director of the Montreal International Poetry Prize, he co-ordinates a team of students and colleagues in building the international network for contemporary poetry.

Local Vocals offers a diverse auditory experience with Folk, Pop, and classical pieces in various languages. Our rehearsals are conducted in English to ensure everyone can participate comfortably and fully.
In addition to regular rehearsals, Local Vocals frequently participate in community events and concerts, allowing members to showcase their talents and skills. Performing for the community enriches our group and the city’s culture. It’s a delightful way to connect with an audience, share our love for music, and inspire others to join in harmony.
Location
We meet every Wednesday afternoon from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. at St Michael’s Church, 1800 Chemin Saint-Louis, Sillery. Join us for this weekly gathering to improve your singing skills, meet others, and enjoy music.
