Ce soir - Quebec 2008 Icomos

Michel L’Hébreux
A teacher for 5 years, and School Director for 30
years, Michel L’Hébreux has been fascinated with
the history of the Quebec Bridge since an early
age. Beginning the research in 1970, he tracks,
writes and tells this story through
multiple
articles, more than 1000 conferences, numerous
radio
et
de
television
interviews,
and
documentaries. His first book on the Quebec
Bridge is published in 1986, reedited in 2001 and in
2008. His 2005 publication for the younger crowd
« Ce sera le plus grand pont du monde », is a
success and translated in English. A founding
member of the Committee for the protection of
the Quebec Bridge, he receives in 2002 the award
W. Gordon Plewes of the Canadian Society of Civil
Engineering in recognition of his contribution to
the history of civil engineering in Canada.
