We will open at 10:00 with a lecture by Frantz Voltaire on the contribution of black people to the construction of Quebec society. M. Voltaire, who holds the Ordre de Montréal, founded the Centre international de documentation et d'information haïtienne, caribéenne et afro-canadienne and co-founded the Montréal Human Rights Film Festival.
We will also be honoring a member of the community who has contributed to education over the past fifty years. The cultural portion of the event will be led by musical artists.
Finally, the Eucharistic celebration, beginning at 11:15, will be presided over by bishop Ogé Beauvoir and Reverend Dr. Deborah Meister, the preacher. Everything will take place on February 10, 2024 in person at Christ Church Cathedral

The Synod Office is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien’keha:ka (Mohawk), at a place called Tio’tia:ke (Montreal), a meeting place for many First Nations, including the Haudenosaunee (Six Nation Confederacy), Anishinabeg and Algonquin peoples.
We recognize and respect the Kanien’keha:ka as the traditional stewards of the land and waters of Tio’tia:ke.
Our acknowledgement stands as a promise to continue the ongoing work of recognition and reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
