“The climate crisis is not very present in the electoral campaign and we find that a little disturbing,” underlines Amélie Therrien, president of the Syndicat des enseignantes et enseignants du cégep Montmorency (SEECM). “It’s a must to mobilize collectively in order to respond to this lack of political will.”

Some SEECM members were already in front of the CEGEP at 7 o’clock.

“For the teachers of Collège Montmorency, the climate situation isn’t technical, but political,” the SEECM said. “It depends directly on our ability to organize ourselves and collectively limit our consumption, for the sake of justice. In this sense, they’re especially calling for a complete exit from fossil fuels by 2030, as well as a massive reinvestment in public services and the social safety net.”

The event, offered by Attraction BFLY, is on Île Jésus since June 24. The facilities is more specifically in the parking lot behind the Colossus movie theater.

Last summer, that activity had only been presented in Quebec’s region.

“After the great success we had with our ephemeral concept last summer, we’re really excited to duplicate the experience this year by settling on two sites very popular for families, thanks to the entertainment offer already in place,” explained Élie Couture, BFLY president and cofounder, via press release.

BFLY Laval notably offers to its visitors the chance to learn more about the life circle of butterflies with an interactive and sensory program, for a cost of less than $15 per person.

The circuit connects seven sunny domes, with four of them serving as a butterfly aviary. The other three are spaces for reception, the screening of a short animated film and the BFLY shop.

A refreshing food offer is also proposed. It is adapted to compensate for the tropical climate recreated inside the facilities necessary for the survival of the butterflies.

This attraction is inspired by the BFLY amusement centre, located in Quartier Dix30 in Brossard, as well as company’s children’s books. (N.P.)
