Symposium Banquet

Windsor Station

Sponsored by

Windsor Station is one of Montréal's historical landmarks, built between 1887-1889. Inspired by Henry Hobson Richardson, American architect Bruce Price designed the plans for the station and adopted the roman medieval architectural style. This beautiful castle-like building is well known for its "salle des pas perdus" (hall of lost steps). The building was used as a train station and headquarters for the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Today, the beautiful preserved "salle des pas perdus", with its bronze statue dedicated to the workers of the Canadian Pacific who served in the army during the World War I, plays host to major events in Montréal.

Windsor Station is located at the corner of the de la Gauchetière and Peel streets; a short walking distance from the Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth.

The Banquet is included for registered regular participants ONLY.  Students wanting to attend the Banquet MUST purchase a ticket.
