	Arvida, Quebec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arvida (from ARthur VIning DAvis, one of the founders of Alcan) was founded as an industrial city by Alcan in 1927, when the first aluminum smelter was constructed.
		Located 127 miles north of Quebec City, south of the Saguenay River between Chicoutimi and Jonquière, the town was planned from the first day and was developed as a company town, to get a population of about 14,000 inhabitants, 4 Catholic parishes, and many other denomination parishes, and schools.
		In 1975, the cities of Arvida, Kénogami and Jonquière were amalgamated into a new city, Jonquière, which in turn in [2002] became part of Ville de Saguenay (which now includes Chicoutimi, Riviere-du-moulin, Arvida and Jonquière).

	Workers in Québec seize Alcan smelter
		In order to protect their jobs, the unionized workers of the smelter have seized it and demanded that it either remain open, or that Alcan replace the smelter with a new one.
		The 550 workers at the Jonquière Soderburg smelter in Arvida, recognize fully that although the company talks about avoiding layoffs and giving the workers transfers, they have effectively lost their jobs.
		But in order to guarantee the success of such a move, the entire economy must be nationalized under workers' control, and the workers in turn must use a workers' state and their own media to put pressure on the bourgeois.

	A History of the Arvida Amateur Dramatic Society
		Let it not be supposed that dramatics did not flourish in Arvida prior to the existence of the A.A.D.S. On the contrary, you could count on at least one church organization or social club about town to sprout a dramatic offering of some sort every Spring.
		In March 1945 the Arvida Amateur Dramatic Society and the Arvida Choral Society pooled resources and collaborated on an evening of entertainment consisting of a one-act play and a one-act operetta.
		It is to be hoped that the seeds sown by the A.A.D.S. have born fruit and that somewhere, if not in Arvida, the members either are actively engaged in dramatics or at least interested in the welfare of similar groups in their communities.

	Workers in Québec seize Alcan smelter
		About 550 workers at the Arvida smelter at Jonquiere, about 250 kilometres north of Quebec City, are making aluminum around the clock despite Alcan's plan to gradually phase out production at the plant over the next three months.
		Margo Tapp, spokeswoman for Alcan at Jonquiere, said the two sides are at an impasse despite the help of a labor mediator appointed by the Quebec provincial government.
		Some 1.6 million tonnes of Alcan's 2.4 million tonnes of primary aluminum smelting capacity, excluding Pechiney assets, is located in the province of Quebec, which is rich in hydro-electric power.
