Travel to Canada

Montreal Quebec

Montreal, Quebec

I can define Montreal as one of the most European Cities in North America. Located on the banks of Saint Lawrence has the blessing to blend old and new cultural traditions, arts and exquisite architecture.

In Old Montreal you can explore centuries-old buildings and churches, along with a lot of cafes and little shops.

Meanwhile in cosmopolitan downtown Montreal, you can party on the exclusive nightspots, make a shopping trip or visiting the city's top museums if that's your kind of thing.

About a six-hour drive from New York or Boston, Montreal makes a convenient long-weekend getaway for residents of the Northeast U.S.

Nuit Blanche (withe Night)

Live with culture was the concept, for the Nuit Blanche Toronto has been divided into three zones encompassing more than 130 destinations.

Within each zone I found a mix of Nuit Blanche exhibitions, My Secret City exhibitions and Independent Projects.

The challenge is to explore them all in one night I had to ran!

Nuit Blanche Exhibitions
Individual exhibitions within each of the three zones have been curated exclusively for Scotiabank Nuit Blanche and feature a diverse range of Canadian and international artists.

Curators Fern Bayer, Peggy Gale and Chrysanne Stathacos link the present to a distant past still echoing through the Bloor-Yorkville neighbourhood.
Curator Kim Simon transforms the grand civic space of University Avenue and McCaul Street into a place of wonder.

Curator Clara Hargittay leads you on a journey of discovery of Queen Street West, from the region's historic aboriginal past to the present, finding common threads in Canadians' diverse experiences locally and beyond.

My Secret City

Public space, through the private and sometimes secretive imaginings of the artist, is a site of transformation.

Discover My Secret City, an exhibition hidden inside the three event zones. Participate in uncovering secrets concealed by or revealed in the 20 artworks by Toronto artists, many of them the driving force behind the younger movement in the city.

Impromptu community is created by sharing secrets in the public sphere. The city as an open forum is a site of revelation, my secret city. Shhhh don´t tell anyone ;)

Independent Projects

Nuit Blanche includes close to 100 city-wide destinations featuring an exciting variety of Toronto's cultural and art venues, educational institutions, art galleries and unique spaces.
Each partner is opening their doors all night long, admission is free and many have collaborated with new and established artists to offer unique experiences.

From interactive video art, ghost tours and avant-garde film screenings to progression painting, shadow art, midnight poetry and unique music-making projects, these Independent Projects have made september 30 an unforgettable evening.

Toronto

I am proud of Toronto ,  I can garantee it´s a great city,with a  high quality of life and reliable services, it  one of the safest urban environments in the world.

I love the variety of population that we have.  The fact that we have two native tongues (english-french) and that we all get along. 

The parties here are AWESOME! I love raves and there we make  some really cool and BIG ones too! let´s party hard!

I am not sure about the weather though, I need some snow boots and something to cover my nose, it´s very sensitive and it turns red :( but I am still handsome :þ

Something you don´t want to miss are the calvacades of lights! and the winter festivals, we put a lot of hard work into it, I am sure it can amaze you, see all that reflected in the sky, see the people faces and smiles, be part of an unique event. Something that you could remember for life.
