Make plans for Montréal in 2006

If you like aspects of both Europe and North America, you’ll want to visit the ultimate combination of continents and culture: Montréal, Québec. And what better time to visit than June 28 through July 2, 2006, when Montréal hosts the 91st Annual Kiwanis International Convention.

The city promises a mix of old-world charm and modern style. Picture this: the majestic St. Lawrence River, renowned arts and culture, incredible summer weather, ornate architecture dating back to the 1600s, and a buffet of global culinary choices. Not to mention an amazing amusement park, casino, botanical gardens, and a host of shopping hot spots.

Like jazz? You’ll be in luck as an attendee to the 2006 International convention. The convention dates coincide with Montréal’s world-famous international jazz festival, which bills itself as a “gigantic party with a rhythm that won’t quit.”
