Unorganized Territory (Quebec)
An unorganized area or unorganized territory () is any geographic region in Canada that does not form part of a municipality or Indian reserve. In these areas, the lowest level of government is Provinces and territories of Canada, provincial or territorial. In some of these areas, local service agencies may have some of the responsibilities that would otherwise be covered by municipalities. British Columbia Most regional districts in British Columbia include some List of regional district electoral areas in British Columbia, electoral areas, which are unincorporated areas that do not have their own municipal government, but residents of such areas still receive a form of local government by electing representatives to their regional district boards. The Stikine Region in the province's far northwest is the only part of British Columbia not in a regional district, because of its low population and the lack of any incorporated municipalities.

Murdochville, Quebec
Murdochville () is a city in Quebec, Canada, one of only a few inland communities on the Gaspé Peninsula. Its population (as of 2021) is 643. History In 1921, copper ore was discovered in the area by the Miller brothers: Alfred, Sydney, Frederick, Angus and Theophilus. However, it was not until 1950 that Noranda Mines actually began mining. The mining town was set up and named after James Y. Murdoch, owner of the mine and first president of Noranda. In 1953, the town was incorporated. The mining operation in the town was comparatively large, starting with mining the raw ore and finishing with an end product of pure copper anode. In the 1970s, the mining operation in Murdochville was large enough to support a population of 5,000 inhabitants. A number of large union battles in Murdochville also helped lay the groundwork for ideas that still exist today. The 1957 Murdochville strike led to the adoption of several new laws protecting the rights of unionized workers in Quebec. ...

Gaspé, Quebec
Gaspé () is a city at the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula in the Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine region of eastern Quebec in Canada. Gaspé is about northeast of Quebec City and east of Rimouski. Gaspé has a total population of 15,063, as of the 2021 Canadian Census. Gaspé is where Jacques Cartier took possession of New France (now part of Canada) in the name of François I of France on July 24, 1534. The most common assumption is that "Gaspé" may come from the Miꞌkmaq word ''Gespeg'' which means "Land's end". Other theories hold that the name may be a mutation of the Basque word ''geizpe'' or ''kerizpe'' which means "shelter" or "place of refuge". Another theory is that it is named after Portuguese explorer Gaspar Corte-Real, who explored Labrador in 1500. In 1600, Englishman Richard Hakluyt used the name ''Gaspay'' in his translation of ''Cosmosgraphie'' by Jean Alfonse, which became the common spelling in the early 17th century. Thereafter, many other spellings appear ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Honguedo Strait
The Honguedo Strait (French: ''Détroit d'Honguedo''), the toponym designates the wide passage of the Gulf of St. Lawrence between the Gaspésie peninsula and Anticosti Island, Quebec, Canada. Toponymy The name Honguedo first appeared in the reports of Jacques Cartier of 1535–1536. In the 16th century, it was known as the Saint-Pierre Strait, especially on maps by Gerardus Mercator (1569) and Cornelius Wytfliet (1597). Only by the 20th century, Honguedo came into use, and in 1934, the Geographic Board of Quebec officially adopted it to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Jacques Cartier's arrival in North America. Yet, the origin of the name is uncertain; it may derive from the Mi'kmaq word for "gathering place", or from the Iroquois word ''hehonguesto'', meaning "one's own nose".

Canada 2011 Census
The 2011 Canadian census was a detailed enumeration of the Canadian population on May 10, 2011. Statistics Canada, an agency of the Canadian government, conducts a nationwide census every five years. In 2011, it consisted of a mandatory short form census questionnaire and an inaugural National Household Survey (NHS), a voluntary survey which replaced the mandatory long form census questionnaire; this substitution was the focus of much controversy. Completion of the (short form) census is mandatory for all Canadians, and those who do not complete it may face penalties ranging from fines to prison sentences. The Statistics Act mandates a Senate and/or House of Commons (joint) committee review of the opt-in clause (for the release of one's census records after 92 years) by 2014. The 2011 census was the fifteenth decennial census and, like other censuses, was required by section 8 of the '' Constitution Act, 1867''. As with other decennial censuses, the data was used to adjust fe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
