How high up in the organization is this person in Toronto? I'm guessing it was Lotte who was recently there.

 

Haha yes, it's Lotte!

Canadian friends, I need your help with a decision!
My hubby comes with me to these workshops and does his own thing while I’m in sessions — we always add an extra day or two to explore wherever we are. We’re trying to decide what to do after the workshop.

Should we spend a day and a half exploring Montreal, or drive to Quebec City Sunday afternoon, spend two days there, and return from there? We don’t have time to explore both Montreal and Quebec City.

Suggestions? Will I regret not seeing Quebec City? 😊

I’m not a Canadian but I grew up in northern NY, about an hour south of Montreal and have visited both places multiple times. I’m sure you would enjoy either option but I agree with Kerry that Quebec City is worth a visit. It’s pretty unique, almost like visiting another country. And it’s small enough that with good planning, you can see a lot in 2 days and it would add a very different experience to your trip. The weather is likely to be a few degrees cooler than Montreal, not enough to make a big difference but in mid-May, you may notice that trees that have leafed out in Montreal are still in bud in Quebec City.  There shouldn’t be crowd issues that can make the place less charming in July so you can make the most of your time. 

If you’re interested in a more urban, metropolitan experience, then staying in Montreal might be better for you. Lots to do and see.  Two great cities - you really can’t go wrong!

Okay, sign me up! It'll be fun to meet people who like to make some bonbons (and similar.) :D 

 

Edit: and my boss just approved my request for a few days off!
