Want to gain exposure for your research? Submit an abstract for either a talk or poster presentation to the "McGill Sustainability Research Symposium". Students are especially encouraged to apply.
Montreal's ecosystems, at your service! Stories connecting people & nature. Montréal à Votre Service Think about your daily routine.

For the most part we do this without considering how nature contributes to our wellbeing and enables our daily activities. Ecosystem services - the benefits that people obtain from nature - surround us each day, even though we might not always be aware of them.
