Quebec is one of the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada. It is the largest province by area and the second-largest by population. Much of the population of Quebec lives in urban areas along the St. Lawrence River, between its most populous city, Montreal, and the provincial capital, Quebec City. The province is the home of the Québécois nation. Located in Central Canada, the province shares land borders with Ontario to the west, Newfoundland and Labrador to the northeast, New Brunswick to the southeast, and a coastal border with Nunavut; in the south it borders the United States.

r/Quebec is the largest Quebec-linked Reddit community to date

Official Discord server

The official Discord server of Place Québec brings together to date more than 4,000 active members throughout the r/place event.

Throughout the event, the members meet in a stage channel called "Assemblée nationale" where the speakers discuss with the members the future projects that we will bring to the canvas of the r/place. Listening members always have the opportunity to raise their hand to become a speaker and then offer ideas or suggestions or even share their opinion on the several projects of the community.

Administrators have the ability to make announcements using the "everyone" tag that mentions the entire server, so that all members who are not on do not disturb receive a notification at the same time when the ad is posted. Announcements are useful for announcing that at a specific time the community is building something specific on the canvas. In this case, the announcement will mention to the members seeing it that they must keep their pixels to later use them at a specific time to prevent their construction from being destroyed rather quickly.
