  CONFERENCE
  PIONEERING WOMEN OF MONTREAL
  (1642 - 1771)
 
Using Zoom, the video conferencing       platform, come meet truly exceptional   women who participated in the founding, survival and influence of Ville Marie, the former French colony now known as Montreal.

Among others, you will meet: Jeanne Mance, nurse and co-founder of the city, and Marguerite
Bourgeoys, the colony’s first teacher, matchmaker and founder of the first truly Canadian religious order. Without these strong, avant-garde trail-blazing visionaries, the metropolis of Montreal might not have become what it is today.

PowerPoint presentation
Approx. 1 hour + 30-min. question period

LITTLE BURGUNDY:
RAILROADS, JAZZ AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT EXPERIMENT
DOCUMENTARY VIDEO  WITH LIVE COMMENTARY

Using Zoom, the video conferencing platform, discover a little-known but vibrant neighbourhood in the Southwest borough of Montreal. 

 For over 100 years, industrialization along the nearby canal shaped the area, where the Black community's contributions are still felt today. A massive development project in the 1960s forever transformed The Berg, which is now making a comeback with top-rated restaurants, a vintage theatre, shops, an art-deco market, and so much more.

Video: approx. 60 minutes
Question period: approx. 30 minutes

For Inquisitive Minds

Looking for something different while visiting Montreal? Why not try a thematic walking tour with a certified guide? Steeped in history and sufficiently off the beaten track, our city's diverse neighbourhoods are well worth discovering. Each has a distinct vibe and enticing allure that are sure to give you a feel--and taste--of how Montrealers live.

If art is your thing, why not choose from my series of signature tours, "If our sculptures could talk", available in three different locations downtown and in the old city?

So put on your walking shoes and let me show you around to give you a deeper understanding of what Montreal is all about. Some driving tours are also available (2 - 3 passengers).

Happy People

We were very fortunate to have a truly qualified guide. She was not only knowledgeable about the area but Quebec and all of Canada as well.
Absolutely terrific!

I was very happy to visit Little Burgundy virtually, especially when we need a change of scenery during this pandemic.
I learned so much about Black history and the jazz scene, which I previously did not know despite being born in Montreal and living there for most of my life.
