Espace pour la vie Near You


MONTREAL, July 6, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - This summer, Espace pour la vie is reaching out to celebrate nature near you in parks and public spaces throughout Montreal and the greater metropolitan area. All summer long, the Espace pour la vie crew will be out and about helping you observe and explore the places that we live next to on a daily basis, often without paying them much attention. Like guides in art museums, our educators will be prompting you to take a closer look at the nature all around you. Plants, mammals, birds, insects, minerals, weather and the night sky will be the works of art of this open-air museum, lending themselves at times to scientific observation, at others to poetic inspiration. This is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with nature in all these spaces for life!

BECOMING A BETTER OBSERVER BY AWAKENING YOUR SENSES

In this unusual tour showcasing nature in an urban setting, the activities organized by the Espace pour la vie crew will focus on exploring the close interrelationships between living beings, including humans, and ecosystem dynamics, appreciating the resilience and adaptability of our planet and the life it sustains, and shifting from passive to active observation.

LOCAL NATURE MUSEUMS

The Espace pour la vie crew has decided to treat the constraints of living with Covid-19 as an opportunity to pursue its mission beyond its regular museums and continue to help you connect with nature. This is doubly important in these challenging times, as many studies have shown the positive impact on health of keeping in touch with nature.

By reaching out to residents in their own neighbourhoods, Espace pour la vie wants to strengthen its social connection with Montrealers. Now, as part of its many science education, engagement and citizen science initiatives, Espace pour la vie is dedicated to providing a unique experience that will inspire you and help you reconnect with nature in your own neighbourhood!

*In an effort to avoid large gatherings, information about times and places will be announced gradually throughout the summer.

In view of the ongoing Covid-19 situation, the public health measures that are in force everywhere this summer will likewise apply to all Espace pour la vie activities.

Espace pour la vie is made up of four attractions on the same site: the Biodôme, Insectarium, Jardin botanique and Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan. These four prestigious municipal institutions form Canada's largest natural science museum complex. Together, they are launching a daring, creative urban movement, urging everyone to rethink the connection between humankind and nature and cultivate a new way of living.
