We remind club members that, as our 2025 club field trip, MonSFFA will be visiting the new exhibition on knights at Old Montreal\u2019s Pointe-\u00e0-Calli\u00e8re museum. Mark tomorrow, Saturday, June 14 in your calendars!<\/p>\n

This exhibition recently opened at \u201cMontr\u00e9al\u2019s Archaeology and History Complex\u201d (the Pointe-\u00e0-Calli\u00e8re museum). The standard adult admission charge is $29, with various discounts available for seniors, students, etc.<\/p>\n

Getting to the Museum<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The nearest Metro station is Place-d\u2019Armes; from there, it\u2019s a 10 minute walk to the museum via rue Saint-Francois-Xavier. Also, the 50 bus, running along rue de-la-Commune, stops at the museum. Paid parking is available in the area, primarily in the Old Port.<\/p>\n

Note: for those travelling by bus and Metro, a transit strike is expected to begin this week, however, regular service is promised by the striking union over the weekend of the 14th-15th. As such, buses and the Metro will be running, as usual.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

MonFFen to Meet-Up at Museum<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Our plan is to meet tomorrow, Saturday, June 14, in the museum\u2019s main entrance lobby at 1:00PM (don\u2019t be late!). We will then enter together at about 1:30PM. As always, each individual is responsible for their own entrance fee and any other expenses incurred, such as lunch or gift shop purchases. For any interested, we will make our way to a nearby restaurant after our visit to enjoy a post-field trip dinner.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
