Join us for a hike on the Sentier de la Foret ancienne trail at Mont Wright on Saturday, October 22 at 9am. Dads, father figures, step dads or grandfathers are all invited to this great excursion outdoors with their little ones, with Jarryd, our WE Dads community animator.
Meet in the parking lot at 9:00 a.m. This is a popular place, so hopefully the early start will allow everyone to get a parking spot! The plan is to hike to the top and enjoy a picnic lunch together, so be sure to bring along a healthy lunch for your family (please avoid nuts for those with allergies).
Of special note
- Mont Wright charges a fee of $7 per adult. Children under 17 are free. There is a ticket machine at the entrance to the trails, near the reception pavilion. You can pay by credit or debit (Visa, Mastercard, Interac).
- The trail we will be taking is called ‘Sentier de la Foret ancienne’. It is a 4km loop.
- We expect this outing to take 3.5-4 hours. It will be a 2 hour hike to the top, a half hour stop for lunch, and then about an hour to come back down.
- This is NOT a stroller friendly trail and can be quite steep in some parts. Accompanying children will need to be great walkers and for little ones we recommend carrying them in a hiking backpack.
- Be sure to dress for the weather and pack a lunch, snacks and water.
- See this map for directions to get there.
Who can attend
This particular event is open to all father figures and and kiddos! For more details please contact Jessica Price, Family Matters Program Coordinator, by email.

Coping with Chronic Pain:
A summary of the work by the Canadian Pain Task Force with Dr. Manon Choniere and Dr. Patricia Poulin, members of the Canadian Pain Task Force.
Approximately one in five Canadians live with chronic pain which has significant impacts on physical and mental health, often affecting participation in everyday activities. This presentation will include best practices for the prevention and management of chronic pain.
Parenting is always a challenge, but perhaps even more so in our uncertain times. It seems more complex to be a parent these days, considering new social media technologies and the major global issues encroaching on our everyday lives, such as the pandemic. Join us for this, our first in-person parenting workshop since the pandemic. Our special guest speaker is renowned psychology professor Dr. George Tarabulsy, who is also a father himself. All parents welcome!
About the workshop
Dr. Tarabulsy will address some of the old, not-so-old, and new issues surrounding parenting. He will focus on the fact that, while some aspects of parenting never change, the core aspects of parenting may take on different forms when faced with pressures that may come from outside the family and the social context that surrounds it. His presentation will draw both on the first-hand experiences of parents and on the vast body of scientific knowledge looking at parenting in adverse circumstances.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Don’t miss this event for seasoned parents, new parents, and future parents-to-be. Join us at 6:30 p.m. for tapas and meet and mingle with other English-speaking parents. The talk will start at 7:00 p.m., and will be followed by a question and answer period.
Reserve your ticket!
Space is limited for this event so be sure register using the green Register button above. For more details or questions, please contact Jessica by email.

The book is currently being edited and it is hoped it will be ready for publication by 2023to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the first of the two conferences. Join Charles-André as he walks us through these historical meetings that took placehere in Quebec City.
