What to do this weekend – November 12-14

The weekend is approaching and you still haven’t made up your mind about how to spend it? Worry not! Here are some suggestions for things to see and do in the Townships!

Join the ‘Night of the researchers’

The Musée de la nature et des sciences (Sherbrooke’s Museum of Nature and Science) is launching the first edition of the Nuit des chercheuses et chercheurs, an event aimed at countering the myth that researchers are fusty old fellows clad in white coats, who never emerge from their labs! 10 male and female scientists will be on hand to show the general public just how outdated that image has become as they explain a host of fascinating facts about their research into astrophysics, entomology, geomatics, biology and much, much more….

Saturday, November 12 (6:30pm-10pm)| Designed for adults only | Reservations essential
