Highlights of the Area

QUÉBEC CITY
(https://www.quebeccity.worldweb.com/
No other destination in the world offers Québec’s compelling mix of features and attractions, the most European city in North America. Late June is an ideal time to visit Québec City due to its fine weather and smaller crowds before July and August. The European spirit of the 17th century pervades every quaint alley and street filled with antique shops, art galleries, craft shops, as well as bistros and restaurants brimming with a tantalizing array of Québec’s regional foods and flavors. We think you will delight in its street entertainers, museums, horse-drawn carriage rides, boat cruises on the St. Lawrence, walking and ghost tours and simply soaking in the atmosphere.

SPECIAL GROUP ACTIVITIES

•A Welcome Continental Breakfast for spouses/families will take place on Monday morning from 8-9:30 a.m., followed by a private guided tour of the Frontenac.

•A Welcome Reception is scheduled for Monday evening (5-6 p.m.) for all registrants, speakers and family members.
