Quebeckers on stage with Queen Extravaganza

The Queen Extravaganza tour starts in Quebec City on Saturday, rather appropriate, given the number of musicians from this province who will be on stage. The tribute band was put together by Queen drummer Roger Taylor after a North American competition for spots. With the final production rehearsals underway, our Rachelle Solomon caught up with two of the three Quebeckers who are heading out on tour: Sept-Iles' Yvan Pedneault and Quebec City's Francois-Olivier Doyon.

Sept-Iles' Ann-Sophie Bettez named top university athlete in Canada

We first met Sept-Iles' Ann-Sophie Bettez about four years ago, when she was a freshman at McGill University and a top player with the women's hockey team. Last night in Calgary, Ann-Sophie was named the top female athlete in Canadian Interuniversity Sport. Interestingly enough, the top male athlete was also a hockey player from McGill, Marc-André Dorion.

Our Peter Black caught up with Ann-Sophie before she made the trip back to Montreal.
