[En Francais] LE CERCLE DE LA GARNISON DE QUEBEC.
Depuis sa fondation en 1879 par des officiers de la malice canadienne, le Cercle de La Garnison de Quebec perpetue la tradition britannique de reunir des membres d'elite milicaire et civile au sein d'un club prive. Au fils des ans, il est le theatre d'activite sociales et recreatives ainsi que de l'origine l'ancien bureau des ingenieurs royaux, un batiment de 1816 qui sera agrandi et modifie. Tant par la presence de ses edifices et de ses jardins qui par son prestige, le Cercle rehausse la caractere parimonial du Vieux-Quebec.
[In English]
The Quebec Garnison Club embodies the British tradition of private clubs in which the military and civil elites gather. Founded in 1879 by Canadian militia officers, the club has hosted countless social and recreation events over the years, as well as offical visits and meetings. The building was originally constructed in 1816 as the headquarters of the Royal Engineers, and was later enlarged and modified. The prestige of this club, as well as the distinguished buildings and gardens enrich the heritage character of Old Quebec.
