The Quebec Family History Society writes to say that there will be a special lecture on the sinking of the Empress of Ireland. It will be a FREE public lecture.
'To mark the 98th anniversary of the Empress of Ireland's
tragic sinking, join us on Saturday, May 12 at 10:30 a.m.
to listen to Anne Renaud, author of the book, Into the
Mist, deliver her illustrated, one-hour presentation on the
sinking of the ship.

From 1906 to 1914, the Empress of
Ireland, one of the fastest and most elegant liners of the
Edwardian era, graced the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Remembered
primarily for sinking in only 14 minutes in the St. Lawrence River
and for having a greater loss of passenger life than the Titanic,
the Empress’s true legacy is the significant role she played in
the building of Canada."

also say that they have a special promotion for Mother's Day!
