All homeschooling families are invited to participate in the following activity offered by Geneviève of Les Amis de la Montagne:

Wednesday August 19th, 10am to 12pm - Le mont Royal au rythme des saisons (Mount Royal through the Seasons).

Les élèves sont invités à jouer le rôle de photographe du mont Royal. Lors de la randonnée, ils découvrent les secrets que la montagne recèle à l’automne, l’hiver ou au printemps. Un contact privilégié avec les plantes, les arbres, les animaux et le milieu physique est favorisé à l’aide de jeux et d’activités sensorielles.

The activity will be bilingual and catered to the ages and interests of the group.

The cost is $10 per child. Please pay Sonya (in exact change if possible) on the day of the activity. Parents and kids under 2 are free.

Bring a picnic lunch and spend the afternoon at Beaver Lake if you want : )
