NOTE: In order to admit more SOAR members into this class, it has been moved from Van Housen Ext. SB27A to Flagg 164 (same date and time)

Find out how to get to downtown Montreal using the train and, if you prefer to drive, where to park and take public transportation to get to the shopping district, China Town and Old Montreal. Also given out: suggested restaurants (Penny’s favorites).

Penny LeBeau was born and brought up in Montreal. She taught school for 25 years, some of that time preparing students who needed help in order to pass the New York State Regents Exams.
