The CSCA Montréal chapter typically holds events at places like McGill and Concordia University, but not exclusively. Our events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
Coming Up
Here is a list of upcoming science-faith events. We aim to include as many details here as early as possible. Local CSCA chapter events are listed here with a teal background. Events that officially apply to multiple CSCA chapters (nearby or not) are in orange. Online ASA local chapter events, including live-streams, are in blue. As a courtesy, we also occasionally list non-CSCA events of interest in grey. Missing infomation (e.g. time, location) means that these details are still TBA. If you would like to submit something to be listed here, please contact our Digital Media and Communications Specialist.
