Description of Activities

 

Activity 1: Canada Day trip to Ottawa
 
             Celebrate this country’s 141st birthday at the capital and enjoy the parades and festivities that will be happening all day! The GEOS crew will arrive in Ottawa and start things off with a tour of Parliament Hill. All kinds of great things will be happening, including concerts, fireworks, picnics, street performances, and other activities.
 
Activity 2: Hike up Mont-Royal
 
            We will be enjoying the summer sun and breeze by visiting Montreal’s prime summer spot. The hike will start from the south side of the mountain and we will slowly work our way to the summit, possibly catching the sunset from the lookout and catch a glimpse of Montreal’s downtown and beyond.
 
Activity 3: Just for Laughs Festival Outing
 
            Montreal’s summer is full to the brim with festivals and excitement, and the Just for Laughs Festival is a great example of why July is a great time to be out and about in this city! There will be plenty of comedy shows to enjoy in the coming weeks, and GEOS will be taking an outing to a downtown venue to end the week with a good laugh!
 
Activity 4: Quebec City Day Trip
 
            Many weekend trips are available through GEOS Montreal and its partners; just ask about the packages available at the school! On July 12th, we will be taking a trip to Montmorency Falls and Quebec City, including a walking tour of the city to take in the sights for its 400th anniversary!
 
Activity 5: GEOS Happy Hour Party
 
We will be celebrating the end of the session at one of the school’s surrounding cafés for the GEOS Happy Hour. A great chance to meet locals and other international students alike, it’s an event that all students and staff look forward to! Kick back, chit-chat, and don’t forget to look good!
 
Activity 6: GEOS Soccer Match
 
            Join GEOS students on the soccer field and play it out, meet new people, get some exercise and fresh air, and enjoy the summer with us! A great way to work off the stress and inhibitions of the week, the school and its students have been organizing soccer matches throughout the summer months and have seen some great talent pass through this city! Take this chance to join FC GEOS and show us what you’ve got!
 
Activity 7: Tam-Tams at Mont-Royal Park
 
            One of the most popular and unique experiences you will encounter in Montreal in the summer. Along with the foam army, the Tam-Tams draw crowds from all corners of the city and fill Mont-Royal with awe-inspiring life and energy. Every Sunday, we will take a break from it all and go with the flow around the Angel Statue in Mont-Royal Park.
 
Activity 8: GEOS Movie Night
 
            GEOS will be continuing the tradition this month with great movies every Monday. This month we will be viewing some timeless classics, including features in the Indiana Jones series, a Batman movie, and Lupin III: the Castle of Cagliostro. Enjoy them free, with free popcorn and snacks, starting at 5:30pm Mondays!
