Over the last spring, the Old Brewery Mission has hosted delegations from Sweden, France and Belgium.
The Swedish delegation from Göteborg spent its first day at the Mission’s St-Laurent campus and continued their visit at the Patricia Mackenzie Pavilion (PMP) the following morning.
The following visit was from a French delegation consisting of six representatives from the CPCV union, the National CPCV Union, the association d’Éducation populaire and the Coordination pour Promouvoir Compétence et Volontariat, coming from various regions of France (Ile-de-France, Normandie, Alsace, Bordelais, sud-est and Picardie). The group was referred to us by their guide, a local CEGEP professor.
