We also thank club members Joe Aspler, Danny Sichel, and Keith Braithwaite for their contributions to this afternoon\u2019s programming, as well as all of our contributing participants, and everyone who helped to plan and run this meeting. Finally, of course, we thank all of you who joined us here in person, and on ZOOM; don\u2019t forget to comment on today\u2019s get-together (www.MonSFFA.ca<\/a>).<\/p>\n

6) NEXT MONTH\u2019S CLUB FIELD TRIP<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The club will embark upon its 2024 field trip on Saturday afternoon, June 8. We will be visiting the Montreal Biod\u00f4me, an exhibition encapsulating five distinct ecosystems of the Americas, including Canada\u2019s Laurentian Maple Forest, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and Coastal Labrador. Join us as we view the many plants and animals of these natural environments!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As this is an outside-of-meeting outing, online participants please note that our usual ZOOM-chat will not<\/em> be possible. No ZOOM component will be incorporated into this event. We are looking at putting together a photo album of our visit to post on the club\u2019s Website at a later, for the benefit of our out-of-town members and other ZOOMers.<\/p>\n

MonSFFen are asked to meet-up in the Biod\u00f4me\u2019s main-entrance lobby between noon and 12:30PM\u2014don\u2019t be late!<\/em>\u2014with the intention of entering the exhibition together at 1:00PM, or possibly 1:30PM\u2014the number of people allowed in at one time is controlled, so we aim to enter as a group during the same time block.<\/p>\n

Tickets are $17.50\/adult (price for Montreal-island and -area residents); discounts are available for students, seniors, and children. Each club member is responsible for their own transportation to and from the Biod\u00f4me, and for their own admission charge.<\/p>\n

The Biod\u00f4me (4777 avenue Pierre-De Coubertin) is located at the base of the Olympic Stadium in the city\u2019s East End (Metro Viau). Paid parking is available for anyone driving in; parking lot is located close by at 3000 rue Viau. Street parking in the area is also an option, but of course is subject to availability.<\/p>\n

Visit the \u201cEspace pour la vie\u201d Website, Biod\u00f4me section, for more information: www.espacepourlavie.ca<\/a><\/p>\n
