The "Québec Urban Community" (QUC) created on January 1, 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 January 1, 2002 with the creation of the new city of Québec. 2, record 1, English, - Communaut%C3%A9%20urbaine%20de%20Qu%C3%A9bec

On January 1, 2002, the municipalities which were grouped, since January 1, 1970, under the Communauté urbaine de Québec (CUQ), sometimes called "the Greater Québec," became one city. The new city of Québec comes from the merger of the municipality of Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures and of the cities (in French "villes") of Beauport, Cap-Rouge, Charlesbourg, Lac-Saint-Charles, L'Ancienne-Lorette, Loretteville, Québec, Sainte-Foy, Saint-Émile, Sillery, Val-Bélair and Vanier. 2, record 1, English, - Communaut%C3%A9%20urbaine%20de%20Qu%C3%A9bec
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 4 OBS
The expression "Greater Québec" was understood as grouping all the municipalities on the North Shore of the St. Lawrence River and adjacent to the city of Québec (now forming the new city of Québec), but as excluding those surrounding the city and having close economic ties with it. To include all of these, the expression "Metropolitan Québec" or "Greater Québec area" was used. Nevertheless, as usages may differ, it was always necessary to refer to the context to understand what was meant. 2, record 1, English, - Communaut%C3%A9%20urbaine%20de%20Qu%C3%A9bec

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. Thus, "Québec Urban Community (QUC)" should have been the initial spelling of the administrative body. 2, record 1, English, - Communaut%C3%A9%20urbaine%20de%20Qu%C3%A9bec

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. 2, record 1, French, - Communaut%C3%A9%20urbaine%20de%20Qu%C3%A9bec

Le 1er janvier 2002, les municipalités qui composaient, depuis le 1er janvier 1970, la Communauté urbaine de Québec (CUQ), communément appelée «le Grand Québec», deviennent une seule ville. La nouvelle ville de Québec est issue du regroupement de la municipalité de Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures et des villes de Beauport, de Cap-Rouge, de Charlesbourg, de Lac-Saint-Charles, de L'Ancienne-Lorette, de Loretteville, de Québec, de Sainte-Foy, de Saint-Émile, de Sillery, de Val-Bélair et de Vanier. 2, record 1, French, - Communaut%C3%A9%20urbaine%20de%20Qu%C3%A9bec

L'expression «Grand Québec» (au masculin parce qu'elle sous-entend qu'il s'agit d'un district) englobait toutes les municipalités au nord du Saint-Laurent et adjacentes à la ville de Québec (qui forment maintenant la nouvelle ville de Québec), mais excluait celles environnant la cité et ayant d'étroits liens économiques avec elle. Pour comprendre ces dernières, l'usage préférait «la grande agglomération de Québec», «le Québec métropolitain», parfois «Québec et ses environs». Cependant, comme les usages pouvaient varier, il fallait toujours s'en remettre au contexte pour bien saisir le propos. 2, record 1, French, - Communaut%C3%A9%20urbaine%20de%20Qu%C3%A9bec
