Lifelong Learning – Nutritional Advice- Is there a solution to the confusion?
Jan 23 @ 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM
This event is a community partnership event with the Community Wellness Centre at Jeffery Hale and Lifelong Learning. It is open to all adults in the Quebec City area.

Facilitator: Joe Schwarcz PhD

Eating has become a confusing experience.  Virtually every day brings news about some “miracle food” that we should be gulping down.  One day it’s tomatoes to prevent cancer, then flaxseed against heart disease or soybeans for menopause.  Then there are the worries: genetic modification, aspartame, MSG, the safety and efficacy of dietary supplements.  We need proper science to guide us through this nutritional maze.

This will be a hybrid session. To register please contact Anaïs Fortin-Maltais at afortinmaltais@jhpartners.net or call her at 581-446-7476.

Lifelong Learning – Empires of the North: The Fur Trade in Canada
Feb 22 @ 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM
This event is open to all adults age 50+ in the Quebec City area.

FACILITATOR: Barry Lane

The North American fur trade is one of the world’s great stories.  For Canada it was crucial, forming for a long time the basis of our economy and ultimately creating the very borders of our country. And for our native peoples it was even more so.  It was their trade.  They were the ones that went out and got the furs and then bought the goods that were traded for them.  For many of them, for over 200 years, it was the only contact with whites that they had, and it prepared them for what was to come as the settler population moved further west.  As one Chief said.  These were the ties that bind.—From Montreal’s fur brigades with French Canadian voyageurs paddling their heavily laden freight canoes 3,000 miles across the continent, to the Scotsmen of the famous Hudson Bay’s Company, the world’s oldest incorporated enterprise, this 45 minute presentation captures the romance and extraordinary achievement of this early period of Canadian history.
