Founders’ Walk & Talk

Join us for a refreshing Founders’ Walk & Talk along the Lachine Canal—an opportunity to meet new people, exchange ideas, and recharge while getting your steps in! 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

This isn’t your typical networking event. No pitches, presentations, or awkward small talk—just real conversations with fellow founders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and curious minds in a relaxed outdoor setting.

A Matcha Iced Latte with Berries Cold Foam from P’eau is included with your ticket. 🍵

📅 Event Agenda

• ✅ 3:30pm – 3:55pm | Meet for Matcha
  Meet us at Café Ma Bicyclette (2727 Rue Saint-Patrick), grab your drink, and connect with the group before we begin.

  Getting there:
  🚇 Metro: Charlevoix (green line), about a 10-minute walk. Lionel-Groulx also works — cross the Atwater Market footbridge and you're there.
  🚲 BIXI: Stations at Atwater Market and along the canal path.
  🚗 Parking: Free street parking on Saint-Patrick and the surrounding side streets. The Atwater Market lot is also an option, a short walk across the bridge.

• ✅ 4:00pm – 5:10pm | Lachine Canal Walk & Talk
  We'll begin walking at 4:00pm sharp. We'll head west along the canal toward Saint-Henri and loop back — roughly 4km at an easy, conversational pace. Walk, talk, and meet new people while enjoying the canal and getting your steps in. We'll encourage everyone to switch walking partners along the way so there are plenty of opportunities to connect.

• ✅ 5:10pm+ | Keep the Conversation Going
  We'll finish back at Café Ma Bicyclette, and anyone who'd like to stay is welcome to grab a drink and keep talking. The terrasses at Atwater Market are two minutes across the bridge if the group wants to migrate.
