Are you taking the bus and wondering how to save on fares? Have you noticed the AVélo electric bikes around the city but aren’t sure how to use them? New to Québec and curious about how public transportation works here?

We’ve got you covered!

Join us for an RTC (SAMI) Info Session followed by a fun outing to Avenue Cartier!

REGISTER HERE 

What to expect:

We’ll meet at our office (1270 ch. Sainte-Foy) and head together to the RTC office for a 1h15 session — useful even if you’ve been taking the bus for years! You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how the transit system works: where lost items end up, how to get directions by phone, how to recharge your OPUS card 24/7, and how to rent an AVélo bike.

Afterward, each participant will receive a free bus ticket, which we’ll use to practice taking the bus together. We’ll head to Avenue Cartier to explore the street, discover its charming cafés, and enjoy some ice cream from Glacier Aberdeen!

📍 Meeting point: 1270 ch. Sainte-Foy 🚌 Free bus ticket included 🍦 Ice cream on the agenda! ✅ Open to all

⏰ Registration deadline: Monday, July 13 at 3:00 PM

6:30 to 7:30 p.m. – Workshop

During this workshop, the participants will be challenged to write, draw, and build their own one-sheet-zine, with or without prior experience. The purpose is to have fun and have no fear to explore new ideas on the paper and beyond.

7:30 to 9:00 p.m. – Author Meet & Greet/Q&A

Meet Joana Mosi and learn more about her work during this conversation with fellow cartoonist Magnus Merklin. Copies of Joana’s books, in both English and French, will be available to purchase and get signed.

Guest

Joana Mosi is an award-winning visual artist and cartoonist based in Lisbon, Portugal. Born and raised close to the sea, Joana has a really hard time sitting still in one place for a long time (which is a problem when your job requires you to spend lots of time at a drawing table) so she ends up traveling a lot, participating in art residencies and comics festivals across the globe. While she’s planning her next artistic endeavour, she stays fresh by teaching (and learning from) new generations of creators. Her book The Mongoose won the Jorge Magalhães Award for Outstanding Story in 2024, and Physical Education was the first-ever graphic novel to be a National Illustration Award of Portugal Highlight Book.
