2:15 - Bus Tour of Campus

No visit to campus would be complete without a visit to the Morgan Arboretum – Canada’s largest arboretum - and to the Macdonald Campus Farm. As the last working farm on the Island of Montreal, the farm serves as a living laboratory where scientific agricultural practices have been tested and taught for more than 100 years.  It is home to an award-winning dairy herd and also produces all of the eggs and most of the seasonal fruits and vegetables used in Ã山ǿ¼é’s Residence Dining Halls.

Register for bus tour by sending us an alumni.macdonald [at] mcgill.ca (email). Please indicate NAME, EMAIL, and NUMBER OF PEOPLE.
