Description of Activities
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!

  I totally remember when I arrived in Montreal. Everything was covered with snow and it was taller than me. 27th Feb. 2008 11pm. Finally I'm in Montreal. I prepared pretty long time for come to Canada, except study English, so first time Montreal wasn't special until I visited school. I don't know Uri remember that we met first, but I did. Uri, Billy and one lady, maybe Sayaka, were receive me with warm hands. I heard many thing about Canada before I come to here, so I had a prejudice, but it was fade away. They were hospitable to me who is "exit" is more familiar than "sortie." My Montreal and GEOS life have started with GEOS people. My teachers - Matt, Amit and Lotoya who is a new and other teachers. They already know about my problems. So everytime correcting and trying until I'll have correct answer. And staffs - Uri, Billy, Marcus, Sayaka and Yasu have many information that I want. So they always give me a new information or search. I'm satisfied with GEOS and Montreal except classroom is little bit hot. Every GEOS people are good friends everytime. Yun Seon Ju Korea |
