This is a one-time event, so you don’t really want to miss out on it!

 

 

The rabaska activity is NOT suitable for children under 6 years of age.

Since this is going to be the only occasion that we are going to visit this park in the summer, we are also opening 10 spots for those interested in simply catching a ride with us, or if for example in your family you have a child under 6 years old (and cannot participate in the rabaska activity). There is a limited capacity for the rabaska and hike guided tours.

For more information about the Jacques-Cartier National Park*, visit their website. On this link, you can also find more information about the trails and other activities to do while at the park.

 

WHAT’S INCLUDED

  • Transportation from our offices (1270, chemin Sainte-Foy) to the park (103 Chem. du Parc-National, Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, QC G3C 2T5). We will stop at km 10, at the Discovery Centre to pick up the guides and for a quick bathroom break. Then, we will continue driving until we reach km 18, where the rabaska activity will take place.
  • A guided rabaska (type of boat) descent on the Jacques-Cartier river, lasting from 1h to 1h15.
  • A guided hike (l’Aperçu), with a duration of 1 hour.
  • Entrance fees to the park.
  • Life jackets DURING the rabaska activity. If you choose to practice another nautical activity, it is your responsibility to rent one yourself.

NOT INCLUDED

  • Meals and/or snacks. Each participant must plan and bring their own lunches (sandwiches, salads, etc.) as well as their snacks and water.
  • Any other activity at the park (equipment rental, other nautical activities, etc.).
  • Accessories like raincoats, sunblock, hats, etc.

We will be returning on the 8:00 PM ferry (to Quebec).  We will bring board games to facilitate your interaction with others. At the quai, there are 160 water jets, perfect to refresh you, so make sure you bring or wear your sandals or why not your swimsuit! If you are an avid photographer, you can also check out the Red stairs (193 steps) located two blocks away from the quai, and admire the beauty of the view from atop. There is also a café near the quai, not far from the ice cream shop. Feeling like picknicking? By all means, bring your own snacks and a picnic blanket or portable chairs!

The fees for the ferry ride are covered for participants and the event is open to all English-speaking newcomers living in the Greater Quebec City region. Registration is required and we have a limited number of places.  Note: A newcomer is someone who moved to the Greater Québec City region in the past 5 years.

Yes, And… Improv Workshop Series
Sep 20 @ 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM

In this improvisation series, presented by stage actor and director Michael Bourguignon, you will learn the A-to-Z of performance, how to think on (and off) your feet, and how to support your fellow performers by developing teamwork and trust. Through a variety of warm-up exercises, games, and off-the-cuff scenarios, you will experience the fun (and funny!) world of improvisation in a safe and supportive environment. Bring your smile and sense of spontaneous adventure! No ifs or buts …

 

Michael Bourguignon is a stage actor and director known for his quick wit and his penchant for pratfalls and other forms of physical comedy. Currently vice-president of the Quebec Art Company, Quebec City’s foremost English-language theatre group, Michael discovered his passion for the stage late in life, but he hit the boards running and hasn’t looked back. Like his lifelong mentor, Bugs Bunny, Michael is a versatile character actor who dabbles in musicals and overdresses for almost every occasion. When not onstage, he is a teacher, communications consultant, voiceover artist, sometime stand-up comedian, and proud father. In all these roles, he always asks himself, “What would Bugs Bunny do?”

Library Workshop: Reading Poetry
Oct 8 @ 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM

Reading poetry can seem like a daunting exercise, but it doesn’t have to be!

Join us at the Library for “Writing Writing,” the third instalment of our Reading Poetry workshop, where we’ll explore the work of four North American women poets that will help us answer two simple questions: What are poems made of and what can they do?

The aim of this workshop is to give you the tools and vocabulary with which to discuss, think about, and above all, appreciate poetry.

You can attend the workshop in-person or online. Please email library@morrin.org to learn more or to sign up!

On Saturday, Oct. 28, VEQ is organising a guide tour to the National Assembly. The National Assembly of Quebec  is Québec’s legislative body. All legislative measures in the province are approved or rejected here, which is why it is important to learn and understand its proceedures.

The guided tour, in English, will last for 60 minutes, but the security screening takes around 30 minutes prior le tour, so do factor arriving at least 30 minutes earlier.

10:30 – 11:15 a.m.    Security screening. To facilitate this process, please read carefull the information here, as it details what is and what is not allowed to bring.

11:15 – 12:15 p.m.     Guided tour in English. Please feel free to ask questions!

12:15 p.m.    End of the tour. If you get hungry, you can visit any of the many restaurants near the Assembly. Additionally, whether you are a Halloween enthusiast or this is your first time experiencing this hooooliday (hope you read it with a ghost voice.. he, he) then strolling around the Old Québec area or the Plaines is  MUST!  Your inner child will not be disappointed. 😀
