FAMILY MEETING 2009

This year’s annual gathering will take place in an exceptional place: La cité de l'énergie). www.citedelenergie.com  It should be a fantastic day!

True to form, la Cité de l'énergie assures you of significant moments in time in an environment where creativeness allied with technological wonders will transport you to a magical wonderland beyond even your wildest dreams and your most vivid imaginings...

The Science Centre invites visitors to the site to embark on a fanciful voyage that is both exhilarating and instructional. With the aid of Québec's second tallest observation tower, numerous interactive exhibits (one permanent, the other passing yet renewable), a most impressive multimedia presentation and a mesmerizing demonstration, you will travel the captivating realms of electricity, log drives, aluminum, pulp and paper and electrochemistry. You will be invited to take an active part in a spine-tingling experience pertaining to the applications to which hydrogen, as a latter-day energy vector, can be put.

Furthermore, in the evening, we will attend the spectacular show ECLYPS

The cité de l’énergie is proud to present its just-out extravaganza blending together the theatrical arts, music and dance with those of the circus, all this in exceptional, made-by-nature surroundings. You will attend an evening show comfortably seated in a revolving, heated and canopied outdoor amphitheatre. You will be flabbergasted by the spellbinding quality of both the premises and the costumes as well as by the special effects.
 
In the presence of the Selenites, the Moon dwellers, you the spectator will travel to the far reaches of the celestial canopy. The saga begins when a young child dreamily scoffs at the notion of life on the Moon. The very threat of extinction facing these lunar inhabitants triggered by the youngster’s scepticism sets off a flurry of activity aimed at ensuring the colony’s survival. Indeed, nothing will slow their quest for success, not even building a spacecraft. Their ultimate aim? To press onward to planet Earth with a message for the wavering youth. Will they be heard or are they to vanish forevermore?

An extraordinary show for one and all!
