Quebec Province is a province in east-central Canada. It is the only Canadian province with a predominantly French-speaking population and the only one whose sole official language is French at the provincial level. Quebec Province is Canada's largest province by area and its second-largest administrative division; only the territory of Nunavut is larger. It is bordered to the west by the province of Ontario, James Bay and Hudson Bay, to the north by Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay, to the east by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador and New Brunswick. It is bordered on the south by the U.S. states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. It also shares maritime borders with Nunavut, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia.

Culture

Music

Being a modern cosmopolitan society, today, all types of music can be found in Quebec Province. From folk music to hip-hop, music has always played an important role in Quebercers culture. From La Bolduc in 1920s-1930s to the contemporary artists, the music in Quebec Province has announced multiple songwriters and performers, pop singers and crooners, music groups and many more. The First Nations and the Inuit of Quebec Province also have their own traditional music. The song À la claire fontaine was the national anthem of the New France and later replaced by O Canada by the Patriots and French Canadians. The Association québécoise de l'industrie du disque, du spectacle et de la vidéo (ADISQ) was created in 1978 to promote the music industry in Quebec Province. The Orchestre symphonique de Québec and the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal are respectively associated with the Opéra de Québec and the Opéra de Montreal whose performances are presented at the Grand Théatre de Québec and at Place des Arts.

Cuisine

The historical context of 'traditional' Quebec Province cuisine is from the fur trade period and many dishes have a high fat or lard content. From the early 17th century, French settlers populating North America were interested in a new cuisine to confront the climate and the needs arising from work of colonization. Mindful of the same nutritional needs as settlers from Acadia, it has many similarities with the Acadian cuisine. Quebec Province's cuisine has a strong French and Irish influence, although many aspects of Canadian aboriginal cuisine have also had a significant impact on Quebec Province cuisine. Quebec Province is most famous for its Tourtière, Pâté Chinois and Poutine. The temps des sucres (sugar season) is one of the oldest of Quebec Province culinary traditions. During springtime, many Quebec Provincekers go to the cabane à sucre (sugar house) for a traditional meal. The Jewish community of Montreal has contributed Montreal-style bagels and smoked meat which is similar to pastrami.
