Through the Echoes presented at the PY1 pyramid, Quai de l’horloge / Clock Tower Pier, Old Port of Montreal, QC. (Aug 7-Sept 29) Through the Echoes / Au-delà des échos is a 60-minute immersive experience presented inside the PY1 pyramid, the first travelling show venue created by Guy Laliberté and Lune Rouge Entertainment. A sweeping multimedia epic imagined by multidisciplinary artist Gabriel Coutu-Dumont, the show is a technological and emotional odyssey about the evolution of life, from the Big Bang to the present. The audience—the lead character—is at the very core of the experience, free to move and explore. Surrounded by lasers, 360-degree projections, kinetic aerial stage elements, atmospheric special effects and grandiose lightscapes, spectators will explore the thread of time and space—from our origins to possible futures—as in a waking dream. The show is not recommended for children under 8 years old. NOTE: TELUS customers Get 15% off the purchase of tickets. To take advantage of the offer, text PY1 to 7777.

Guided Tours of the Tea Garden at Botanical Gardens – A small, unassuming secluded garden that is absolutely unique! It is not, as one might think, a place where tea plants are grown, nor is it somewhere for drinking tea. So, what is it? Come visit this very special garden in the company of a nature interpreter, who will help you decode and appreciate its many symbolic elements. As you stroll along the path, you will see the attention paid in designing and creating this garden, designed to evoke a wild trail leading to a teahouse. A maximum 10 visitors at a time may tour the Tea Garden.Cancelled in case of rain.

Guided tours of the First Nations Garden – Stroll along the paths with an Indigenous nature guide and contemplate the beauties of the hardwood and softwood forests and tundra. You’ll learn about the First Nations’ vision of nature and its benefits. Immerse yourself in the fragrances, colours and textures of these living environments where tradition and modernity go hand in hand.

DISNEY ON ICE PRESENTS DREAM BIG! at Place Bell – Laval, 7PM.

Thursday, October 17

Amy Fish launches I Wanted Fries With That presented by Drawn & Quarterly Bookstore and The Jewish Public Library. 7:00 PM at 5151 Chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine, Montréal, QC H3W 1M6. Click here for tickets. (Presentation in English).  You will get a FREE signed copy of I Wanted Fries With That with entry. About Amy Fish: Amy Fish is the Chief Complaints Officer, also known as the Ombudsperson at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. She is responsible for promoting fairness and making sure everyone’s voice is heard. Amy regularly teaches, speaks and writes about how complain effectively (i.e., stand up for yourself and ask for what you need.) She is also a Montreal Mom  About the Book: At some point in our lives, we’ve all experienced a small injustice – like, a fellow airline passenger squashing us by moving their seat back – and we suffer in silence for fear of offending anyone. When we fail to speak up, however, we end up shortchanging ourselves. I wrote this book so that we could all benefit from my career as a university ombudsman, and structure our complaints to make sure we get what we want and need. I illustrate each point with funny real-life stories, which I promise will ring true for you- whether you’re trying to right the wrongs of the world or just claim the French fries you ordered.
