The Microsopical Society of Canada and the LAC of Microscopy and Microanalysis 2002 are very proud to welcome you in Québec City for the MSA - MAS - MSC/SMC-IMS joint meeting that will take place for the first time in Canada. This event will be a commemorative new experience of science mixed with the “Joie de Vivre” of Québec City. Founded in 1608 by French explorer Samuel de Champlain, Québec City was the center of New France, which at the time extended from the St. Lawrence River in the northeast right down to the Gulf of Mexico in the south. By the end of the 19th century, Québec City had taken on many of its current attributes: political capital, university town, center of culture, tourist destination, and regional services and trade hub. The city's old quarter was declared a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1985.

Come to Québec, an American-style City with a French Attitude!
