The Great Apple Tour

We invite you to a major event on July 17 and 18 in Montérégie. As part of the "Vitrines de régies à moindres risques" project, to mark the 50th anniversary of the Producteurs de pommes du Québec, and to take advantage of the Canadian Apple Working Group being held in Quebec this year, we'd like to invite you to The Great Apple Tour !

Growers, advisors, agronomists, researchers and other are invited to participate in presentations, workshops and demonstrations on various topics, such as low-risk practices, pruning, mechanized operations, technological tools, new varieties and high density.

We're offering a new formula, with a bus tour to take you from one orchard to the next over two full days. Don't miss the networking evening at the end of the first day, where everyone can meet and exchange ideas.

Buses will depart from and return to Hotel Atl aux Quartier Dix30 in Brossard. The activity is free and includes

- Lunch on July 17 and 18 at the hotel (for participants staying at the hotel only)

- Dinner on July 17 and 18 in the orchard

- Cocktail dinner on July 17 at the hotel

- Bus travel between orchards

Bus transport to more remote regions (Laurentides, Capitale-Nationale/Chaudière-Appalaches and Estrie) will be scheduled for late afternoon on July 16 to enable participants to get to the event easily. Buses will return to your regions at the end of the day on July 18. Otherwise, you'll need to make sure you get to the hotel on your own and on time for the bus departure to the orchards. To save your place, answer the questions on the registration form. You have until May 17.

You will have the option of staying at the hotel on the night of July 16 and/or 17, so that you are already on site (at your own expense). Register early to take advantage of the preferential rate - places are limited! If you don't want to stay at the hotel, you'll need to make sure you get to the hotel on your own and on time for the bus departure to the orchards.
