Discover the fundamentals of photography with professional photographer Jacques Gaines.
With the help of professional photographer Jacques Gaines, the Morrin Centre offers a series of five photography workshops. Each workshop will present a different aspect of photography, from framing to photo-editing.
In this workshop, Gaines will be introducing participants to the fundamentals of photography.
Participants may either audit the workshop (attend just to watch) or bring the following items to actively participate in the exercises:
A camera. Whether a $100 camera or a $5000 camera, we do not care. Anything goes! It can even be your phone, though it should then be a fairly recent phone.
The picture you are most proud of. It can be a digital copy or a print. (You do not have to show it to the class).
In addition to that, please:
Dress for the weather outside. After the workshop, for those willing, the teacher will sometimes do a small photo walk if we have the time.
Make sure you have eaten before coming. It’s not fun having a student in a bad mood!

Did you recently move to the Greater Québec City region and have questions about the provincial health care system? In 2018 Jeffery Hale Community Services, the Community Wellness Centre, and the Voice of English-speaking Québec put together a comprehensive guide with the intention of helping newcomers navigate the medical system here in Québec City with a little more ease and efficiency. Since then, we provide a space for newcomers to meet other newcomers while having their doubts cleared out by either a nurse or a social worker from the JEFF (as we colloquially refer to the Jeffery Hale Community Services).

The Morrin Centre’s Picture This is a photography project in three parts.
With the help of professional photographer Jacques Gaines, the Morrin Centre offers a series of five photography workshops. Each workshop, held on a Tuesday evening, will present a different aspect of photography, from framing to photo-editing.
For this workshop:
Do you have old photos full of history? You know, the ones in black and white from your parents’ or grandparents’ era, tucked away in a box up in the attic? Then please come and share your photos and their stories with us during our memory sharing meetings!
We are looking particularly for photos featuring the English-speaking community of Quebec and the Morrin Centre. They could eventually be featured in a temporary exhibit presented at the Morrin Centre later this year. You are invited to send digitized copies prior to the meetings. We are also able to digitize them for you as needed.
To learn more, visit the event webpage or contact our Heritage Coordinator at anthonyarata@morrin.org.
If you have pictures you would like to share but none of the meetings scheduled suit you, please email our Heritage Coordinator and send him your pictures anyway!

Invited speaker: Lisa Matthes, Postdoctoral fellow in Oceanography, Takuvik Joint International Laboratory, Université Laval /CNRS
Title: The role of advanced robotics in studying the Arctic under-ice light field
Zoom link: https://ulaval.zoom.us/j/66544948499?pwd=aTRKejBsVnVGdDUvK0doemUzOWZwZz09
The Arctic Ocean has been the epicentre of climate change with a much faster warming rate compared to the globe. This warming causes the sea ice cover to shrink rapidly with a large impact on all levels of the Arctic marine food web, from polar bears to microscopic algae. Oceanographic studies of the changes in this remote and hard-to-access region are often limited to small areas and/or short time periods, which hampers predictions about the future of the sea ice ecosystem. This talk will provide insights on how recent advancements in underwater robotics help to extend the knowledge about the development of phytoplankton blooms throughout the year. Together, we will look at how optical and biological data are collected by remotely operated and autonomous platforms over larger spatial and temporal scales to better understand the marine ecosystem in Baffin Bay.
Lisa Matthes: After graduating with a master’s degree in Marine Biology from the University of Rostock in Germany and a PhD degree in Arctic Research at the University of Manitoba, Lisa Matthes joined the Takuvik International Research Laboratory as postdoctoral fellow in April 2021. Her research work focuses on light availability in the marine ecosystem and how it controls the magnitude and timing of Arctic primary production. She is specifically interested in how a sea ice cover impacts light propagation in the underlying water column and how it affects phytoplankton throughout the Arctic growth season. To find answers to these questions, she deploys optical sensor packages in combination with advanced underwater robotics and collects water samples for many biological parameters during field expeditions in the Arctic and sub-Arctic Ocean.
