Les Télécommunications à Montréal entre 1846 et 1946
Dans le cadre du 350e anniversaire de MontrĂ©al, il serait utile de comprendre lâĂ©volution des tĂ©lĂ©communications dans cette ville en prĂ©sentant non seulement les Ă©vĂ©nements qui ont marquĂ© la progression technique de ces moyens de communication, mais en considĂ©rant Ă©galement les protagonistes qui ont contribuĂ© Ă leur dĂ©veloppement. Ainsi que lâauteur le dĂ©montre dans ce texte, MontrĂ©al rĂ©agit rapidement Ă toute innovation technologique qui lui permet de mettre en valeur les attributs nĂ©cessaires Ă son rayonnement socio-Ă©conomique et devient ainsi le berceau de la premiĂšre station radiophonique au monde.In the context of the 350th anniversary of the founding of Montreal, it might be useful to examine the evolution of telecommunications in this city by looking at both the progress of technology and the important figures who contributed to the development of these means of communication. In this article, the author shows that Montreal reacted rapidly to each technical innovation allowing it to develop the attributes essential to its socioeconomic growth and to become the cradle of the first radio station in the world
Augustin Frigon et la Radio Nationale au Canada
This paper traces the main steps of Augustin Frigon's career who has devoted the largest part of his life to the development of the national radiobroadcasting in Canada. The studies that he did in the United States and France as well as the positions he held at the Ăcole Polytechnique de MontrĂ©al will be used as a catalyst for his future administrative carreer in the radiobroadcasting sector. His nomination as member of the Royal Commission on Radiobroadcasting in 1928 (Aird Commission) is the starting point of his career. A few years later, Frigon was nominated as assistant director, and then later as director general of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. These two key positions allowed him to realize the initial plan proposed in the Aird report, that is to introduce new radiobroadcasting services (FM network, international service, short waves, etc.) and to play a major role during the international conferences on radio. Inevitably, such positions have brought Frigon to the fore front of the national broadcasting scene and, therefore, he found himself in the middle of the controversy on the 1942 plebiscite. The paper also underlines Frigon's role in the development of the French CBC network.Cet article retrace les principales Ă©tapes de la carriĂšre dâAugustin Frigon qui a consacrĂ© la plus grande partie de sa vie au dĂ©veloppement de la radio nationale au Canada. Les Ă©tudes quâil a entreprises aux Ătats-Unis et en France de mĂȘme que les fonctions quâil a occupĂ©es Ă lâĂcole Polytechnique de MontrĂ©al servent de catalyseur Ă sa future carriĂšre dâadministrateur dans le domaine radiophonique. Sa nomination comme membre de la Commission royale sur la radiodiffusion en 1928 (Commission Aird) constitue le vĂ©ritable point de dĂ©part de sa carriĂšre. Quelques annĂ©es plus tard, Frigon accĂšde au poste de directeur adjoint, puis de directeur gĂ©nĂ©ral de la SociĂ©tĂ© Radio-Canada. Ces deux fonctions-clĂ©s lui permettront de rĂ©aliser le plan initial proposĂ© dans le rapport de la Commission Aird, dâintroduire de nouveaux services de radiodiffusion (rĂ©seau MF, service international, ondes courtes, etc.) et de jouer un rĂŽle majeur lors des rencontres internationales sur la radio. ForcĂ©ment, de telles fonctions conduiront Augustin Frigon Ă lâavant-plan de la scĂšne radiophonique nationale et, dĂšs lors, nous le retrouverons au centre dâune controverse reposant sur le plĂ©biscite de 1942. Lâarticle met Ă©galement en relief le rĂŽle de Frigon dans le dĂ©veloppement du rĂ©seau français de Radio-Canada
Learners as Learning Leaders: How Does Leadership for Learning Emerge Beyond the Traditional Teaching Models?
This E-book is a collection of outcome reports by thematic working groups (TWGs) of EDUsummIT2019 held from September 29 â October 2, 2019 in Quebec City, Canada. The theme of EDUsummIT2019, âLearners and learning contexts: new alignments for the digital ageâ was chosen to consider misalignments due to the consequences of changing knowledge representations, human computer interactions, blurring of formal and informal learning, changes in leadership patterns and many more emerging influences from IT. Thirteen TWGs discussed aspects of the overall them
AEDGE: Atomic Experiment for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration in Space
Abstract: We propose in this White Paper a concept for a space experiment using cold atoms to search for ultra-light dark matter, and to detect gravitational waves in the frequency range between the most sensitive ranges of LISA and the terrestrial LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA/INDIGO experiments. This interdisciplinary experiment, called Atomic Experiment for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration (AEDGE), will also complement other planned searches for dark matter, and exploit synergies with other gravitational wave detectors. We give examples of the extended range of sensitivity to ultra-light dark matter offered by AEDGE, and how its gravitational-wave measurements could explore the assembly of super-massive black holes, first-order phase transitions in the early universe and cosmic strings. AEDGE will be based upon technologies now being developed for terrestrial experiments using cold atoms, and will benefit from the space experience obtained with, e.g., LISA and cold atom experiments in microgravity.

Le rĂŽle de lâĂglise catholique, du Conseil de la vie française et de Paul-Ămile Gosselin dans le dĂ©veloppement de la radio française au Canada, 1940-1955
Notre Ă©tude se propose de mettre en relief le soutien de lâĂglise catholique et du Conseil de la vie française de mĂȘme que la contribution majeure de Paul-Ămile Gosselin dans le dĂ©veloppement de la radio française au Canada au cours des annĂ©es 1940-1955. Ă travers les luttes qui se sont poursuivies tant aux niveaux technique, administratif, politique que financier, les reprĂ©sentants de lâĂglise catholique sont intervenus dans le but manifeste de prĂ©server les valeurs fondamentales des Canadiens français, notamment la langue, la culture et la religion. La station CKSB de Saint-Boniface, Manitoba, inaugurĂ©e en 1946, sert de point dâancrage Ă notre analyse. Nous mettons Ă©galement en Ă©vidence le rĂŽle de lâĂglise en ce qui a trait Ă la campagne de financement de 1944 pour la mise sur pied de quatre stations dans lâOuest. Nous terminons notre analyse en soulignant lâappui de membres du clergĂ© catholique et dâhommes politiques face aux difficultĂ©s rencontrĂ©es par Adrien Pouliot comme membre du Bureau des gouverneurs lors de sa rĂ©Ă©lection en fĂ©vrier 1945.Our study proposes to highlight the support of the Catholic Church and the Conseil de la vie française as well as the major contribution of Paul-Ămile Gosselin in the development of French radio in Canada during the 1940-1955 period. Through the struggles that have been going on at the technical, administrative, political and financial levels, representatives of the Catholic Church have intervened with the obvious aim of preserving the fundamental values of French Canadians, including language, culture and religion. The CKSB radio station, St. Boniface, Manitoba, opened in 1946, and serves as an anchor for our analysis. We are also highlighting the role of the Church in the 1944 fundraising campaign for the establishment of four stations in the West. We conclude our analysis by emphasizing the support of Catholic clergy and politicians for the difficulties faced by Adrien Pouliot as a member of the Board of Governors when he was re-elected in February 1945
La souscription de 1945 au QuĂ©bec pour la crĂ©ation de stations radiophoniques françaises dans lâOuest
Cet article retrace les principaux Ă©vĂ©nements qui ont permis la rĂ©alisation dâune souscription en faveur de la radio française dans lâOuest. GrĂące Ă lâappui de lâĂglise catholique et des Ă©lites sociales du Canada français de mĂȘme que des reprĂ©sentants de communautĂ©s francophones aux Ătats-Unis, la souscription de 1945 reprĂ©sentera un succĂšs. Cette action concertĂ©e est menĂ©e par le Conseil de la vie française, organisme central qui sert la cause de la culture française au Canada et aux Ătats-Unis, ainsi que par Radio-Ouest-Française, qui reprĂ©sente les trois provinces de lâOuest. Les sommes recueillies lors de la souscription servent Ă financer les stations radiophoniques françaises en dehors du QuĂ©bec et Ă assurer ainsi la sauvegarde de lâidentitĂ© et de la culture canadiennes-françaises dans lâOuest.This article traces the main events that made it possible to make a subscription for French radio in the West. Because of the support of the Catholic Church and social elites in French Canada as well as representatives of French-speaking communities in the United States, the 1945 subscription was a success. This concerted action is led by the Conseil de la vie française, a central body that serves the cause of French culture in Canada and the United States, as well as by Radio-Ouest-Française, which represents the three western provinces. The sums collected during the subscription are used to finance French radio stations outside Quebec and thus ensure the preservation of French Canadian identity and culture in the West
