Quebec Thistle Committee
The Quebec Thistle Committee of the St. Andrew's Society of Montreal continues the work of the Quebec Thistle Council started before the World Scottish Festival in Montreal in 1992. The committee brings together Scots and Scots organizations from across Quebec to celebrate Scottish culture and traditions brought to Quebec by our forefathers.
The committee remembers the pioneering enthusiasm and generosity of T.R Anthony Malcolm who for years led the council.

The Quebec Thistle Council joins the St. Andrew’s Society of Montreal
The Quebec Thistle Council came into existence just over 25 years ago to organize the Scottish World Festival being held in Montreal in 1992—at that time celebrating its 350th anniversary of founding. Here we are over 25 years later and the Thistle Council has been reborn as a committee of the St. Andrew’s Society of Montreal. The Council has a lot to be proud of, including the naming of eminent Scotsmen/Scotswomen of the year, and recognizing those in Quebec who perpetuate the Scottish arts: pipers, historians, chefs, dancers and many more. In the true sense of “passing the torch” to a younger generation, the Council is reinvigorating itself by becoming a committee of the St. Andrew’s Society of Montreal and it has been agreed that the functions of the Council, including the awards program, the Ron Rice Lecture and the community calendar, will be continued.
