DEF

Chantier de la drave.

CONT

Être cuisinier de la drave, c'est déjà beaucoup plus difficile qu'être cuisinier dans les chantiers. C'est, par une route sans fin, en pleine forêt, parfois à l'approche des villages, établir une illusion de stabilité. (Roy, Gabrielle. «Le long, long voyage». Bulletin des Agriculteurs, Montréal, mai 1945.)

OBS

Le terme «drave», calque de l'anglais «drive», est considéré comme recevable sur les plans de l'histoire et de la tradition québécoises et canadiennes récentes.
