OBS

Name confirmed by the organization.

OBS

As the "Québec Urban Community" (QUC) created on 1 January 1970 by an Act of 1969 of the Assemblée législative du Québec and whose name was changed to "Communauté urbaine de Québec" (CUQ) in 1983, ceased to exist on 1 January 2002 with the creation of the new city of Québec, the name of any organization that includes this element will be modified if the organization continues to exist independently, or will no longer be used if the organization represented is now part of the services offered by the new city. The same remark stands for the expression "Greater Québec" or "Metropolitan Québec" used instead of "Communauté urbaine de Québec."

OBS

In Canada, the name of an inhabited place has the same form in English and in French. The name of the city always takes an accent when used alone or as part of a designation, "Québec" being the only form registered on the Incorporation Act of the city. Thus, "Metroplitan Québec" should have been the initial spelling of the element in the name of the administrative body.

OBS

Quebec and its surroundings had been called the "District of Québec" before becoming the "Québec Urban Community" in 1970 and the "Communauté urbaine de Québec" in 1983, to disappear with the creation of the new city of Québec in 2002.

OBS

Comme la Communauté urbaine de Québec (CUQ) créée le 1er janvier 1970 par une loi de l'Assemblée législative du Québec de 1969, a cessé d'exister le 1er janvier 2002 avec la création de la nouvelle ville de Québec, le nom de tout organisme comprenant cet élément est appelé à changer si l'organisme continue d'exister distinctement, ou n'aura plus cours si l'organisme représenté est maintenant englobé dans les services assurés par la nouvelle ville. La même remarque vaut pour les organismes dont les noms comprennent «Grand Québec» ou «Québec métropolitain».

OBS

Québec et ses environs a d'abord été appelée «le district de Québec», puis «la Communauté urbaine de Québec» communément dite «le Grand Québec» ou «le Québec métropolitain». Le tout disparaît en 2002 avec la création de la nouvelle ville de Québec provenant de la fusion de la municipalité et des 12 villes qui composaient la Communauté urbaine de Québec.

Key term(s)
  • Chambre de Commerce et de l'Industrie du Québec Métropolitain
