The Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN) has just launched its long-awaited Laurentian Heritage WebMagazine. The event took place last week (appropriately) in Morin Heights, in the heart of the Laurentians. An enthusiastic crowd was on hand to get a peek at the new site, and to hear presentations by Rod MacLeod, President of QAHN, and Matthew Farfan, Project Coordinator and Editor of the new site.

As part of QAHN’s new Quebec-wide Internet heritage website, Quebec Heritage Web, Laurentian Heritage WebMagazine is designed to serve as a window on the history of the Laurentians, a guide to the region's heritage, past and present, and a way to encourage people of all ages to visit the region in person.

Modeled on the highly acclaimed Townships Heritage WebMagazine (created by Townshippers’ Association and now administered by QAHN), Laurentian Heritage WebMagazine is the second of our innovative regional Internet magazines spotlighting the province’s history and heritage, with emphasis on the history and heritage of Quebec’s English-speaking community.

“The Heritage WebMagazine will make it a pleasure to plan trips into the regions of Quebec, where information is so often hard to find or is incomplete,” says QAHN President Rod MacLeod. “It will also be a treat for desktop travelers, who can easily spend hours browsing in these absorbing, insightful pages.”

Together with Townships Heritage, Laurentian Heritage WebMagazine – and in time, distinctive webmagazines for all the regions of Quebec from Gatineau to Gaspé – will constitute QAHN’s ambitious, province-wide website, Quebec Heritage Web.

The Quebec Heritage Web project and Laurentian Heritage WebMagazine are funded jointly by Canada Economic Development and the Department of Canadian Heritage.
