programs and events the Fall Meeting has to offer. We are excited to<br />

Barreau du Québec and Montréal Bar. Other featured events include<br />
Tuesday’s Hospitality Night (ticketed), providing attendees with a unique<br />
opportunity to personally get to know the Montréal legal community, a<br />
5km Fun Run on Wednesday morning (ticketed), a reception at 8Queen<br />

Dalhousie Station, the headquarters of Cirque Éloize on Thursday evening<br />
