Early Retirement Extreme Forums

Still down for it. Probably not available on Thursday.

Sounds good !
Let's shake the tree a few more days and see what happens.

What about a meetup on Saturday ?

I am afraid I overbooked myself with family and friends visits until I am leaving next week, having only the Saturday free as a result.

Yes, sure. Any time would be good for me. What do you prefer? Since few others appear interested, shall we stay on the south shore?

Yes, the south shore sounds good. I am in Chateauguay.
Any place in mind ? I don't now the good places anymore.
Maybe a walk somewhere in the afternoon ?

Great idea. I'd suggest Récréo-Parc, in Sainte-Catherine, it's close, it's nice and there's the river right along it. The parking costs $, but you can park in the streets outside of it for free, we can meet outside, and we can walk into the park for free. If that's fine for you, I'd suggest 1PM, meeting at the bridge/locks (i.e. corner Promenade du Pont-Levant and Marie-Victorin). What do you say?

Ok, that works.
I just sent you a pm.

Hello !

Would anyone be interested in a Montreal meetup this summer ? I don't have a car, so for me, it would have to be somewhere within the island, somewhere central if possible.

I am not planning a trip to la belle province this summer but very happy to see interest in a meetup in Montreal.
I had great meetups with other forumites in the past and would encourage anyone to give it a try. Heck, we are going at the ERE Fest in September.
Well done mleroux79 !

We had a meetup in the old Montreal a few winters ago and on the south shore last fall.
( walking in a lovely park )

Are you new to the forum ?

Hi Colibri !

I'm glad to know you had good experiences in Montreal. Yes, I'm new to the forum, but not new to the FIRE concepts. I'm a 43-year-old female that worked many years in engineering and is now working part time (various gigs), having a minimalist, simple way of living. I live on a small budget.

Hello !

Would anyone be interested in a Montreal meetup this summer ? [...]

Just saw this, I don't log often these days. Yeah, I'd be down. I'm busy all week & weekend, but after that I'll have more time. I'm on the south shore but I often bike into the city, so we can do something on the island. Old Port and parc Jean-Drapeau are both nice and not too far, but I'd be open to do something else if you have anything in mind.

Meeting in the Old Port would be nice.
Let's wait and see if we can find a couple more people to attend.

Is anyone interested in a meetup sometime during the last week of June?

Yes, I would be interested !

After some more planning, I'll be free Tuesday-Thursday June 25-27 and wandering around the island, can be anywhere accessible by foot/transit!

I am free those three days. Let's wait and see if more people are interested, and when they are available.

Hi basuragomi !

If I am able to pick, Thursday June 27 would be best for me. I am free all day and evening that day, so it would be up to you and potentially others to decide the time. If you agree on this day, maybe we could start a new thread called "Montreal Meetup - Thu. June 27 2024" ? Because the title "September 15" can lead to confusion.
