Does Quebec have a national anthem?

First written by an American, edited by a Canadian: As with any country's national anthem, standing and taking your hat off is appropriate. This is a simple and respectful gesture for ANY national anthem or flag. You are not required to salute or make any similar gesture, but a simple respectful acknowledgment is part of being polite to citizens of other nations. For citizens of most nations, the etiquette for the national anthem is to stand, salute (if in uniform), place your hand over your heart (if civilian), or similar. It is unnecessary to place your hand over your heart in Canada but the rest is appropriate as well. It is also rather inappropriate to do anything but these things when the anthem is played officially. It is regarded as rude in some countries to sing along with the national anthem but in Canada it is not and contrarily, in elementary schools it often necessary to sing along the anthem so that children will memorize the words.

What is the proper etiquette if an arrangement of the national anthem is played during a concert without singing the words?

Under most circumstances, you will have a flag there, and everyone will know they should stand and show respect when they heard the anthem. But just to be on the safe side, you may want to tell the leader of the event to encourage everyone to stand up at the same time. Some people will sing along even if there is no official singer to lead them, while others will stand at attention and wait for the anthem to conclude. As for the rules of etiquette, while there are rules for saluting the flag, there are no official rules about the anthem, as you can see from any sporting event: people stand (unless a disability prevents them from doing so); but other than that, some put their hand on their heart, some just stand and sing along, others do nothing but wait politely and then sit when the anthem is over.


Are you required to salute the flag when the national anthem is sung?

By civilian law, no. Military law says you are required to when in uniform.Police and fire agencies also have the legal authority to require they're members to salute when in uniform as well. It is however, part of proper flag etiquette to place your hand upon your chest and remove head garments when the national anthem is sung, not doing so is generally looked upon as poor conduct by other citizens, some citizens even feel it is treason, though there is no court cases to back up that claim.
