Mr. Speaker, today I would like to pay tribute to all those who helped create the new permanent exhibition “Growing Up with the Ursulines” at the Pôle culturel du Monastère des Ursulines in Quebec City, in the beautiful riding of Québec Centre.
The result of more than four years of work, this exhibition pays tribute to 400 years of educational and social engagement by the Ursuline Sisters, women who have left a profound mark on the social, cultural and intellectual development of the greater Quebec City area and across the country. The exhibition “Growing Up with the Ursulines” features six thematic rooms and more than 180 objects and archives, including the founding document signed by King Louis XIII. It shows visitors how these visionary women helped advance the status of women in Quebec City and Quebec.
I invite all members of the House, as well as everyone listening to us, to come visit this exhibition and experience the exceptional legacy of the Ursuline Sisters.
