We’re going out in Old Montreal for our Opening cocktail . We will gather in the building of Lovell, the oldest-still-running-printing-plant in North America. Experienced pressmen will guide us through the old machinery ready to answer our questions in both English and French and to demo a running press. In a cosy and casual atmosphere, the 3-floor building and its treasures are ours to discover. The address: 423, rue Saint-Nicolas, Old Montreal. After the cocktail we’ll be off for a good meal in the “Vieux” as we say in Montreal!
