Looking for a way to remain intellectually active during retirement?

Then you should consider the McGill Community for Lifelong Learning (MCLL). MCLL is a non-profit, volunteer community of seniors who wish to continue learning for the joy of it. Unlike traditional academic settings, there are no exams and no grades to worry about; instead the focus is on peer learning and active participation.  MCLL also offers a series of Friday lectures and workshops.  Members have the flexibility to attend sessions in person on the McGill campus or participate remotely.

Spring registration begins April 2, 2024. Please use this link for complete information.
