Celebrate McGill’s Bicentennial at Reford Gardens

To recognize and mark McGill University’s important milestone and contributions to Quebec society and to the Lower
St-Lawrence and Gaspésie regions, Reford Gardens will be holding a two-part special event on the Bicentennial
Sustainable Stage on August 21st at 3 PM.

The activities will feature talks from McGill alum François Rioux (MBA ’10) about his work and involvement in the
region; current students presenting their research on topics of importance to the Lower St-Lawrence region and
Gaspésie Peninsula; and two professors from McGill and the Université du Québec à Rimouski – Caroline Temcheff and
Martine Poirier – showcasing an example of inter-university collaboration. Presentations will then be followed by
exciting musical performances by two McGill alumni and professors at the Conservatoire de musique de Rimouski, Josée
April (B.Mus. ’83, M.Mus. ’86) and Ludovik Lesage-Hinse (G. Art. Dip. ’17).

Celebrate McGill’s Bicentennial outside of Montreal and discover the Bicentennial Sustainable Stage, built by
students from the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture at McGill and Schulich School of Music.
