As part of the 14th edition of 24 heures de science (24 Hours of Science), Pointe-à-Callière is offering you a chance to take part in its Water Ways! activity, free of charge. With family or friends, come discover the secrets of our most precious collective resource… water!

This guided tour will take you into the Youville Pumping Station, Montréal’s first fully electrified wastewater pumping station, which is usually inaccessible to the general public. Joining our guide, you will delve into key questions about drinking water and wastewater management, from the past to the present day.

This 30-minute activity will get you thinking about environmental issues relating to water, while providing access to one of the city’s unique locations.

The 10:30 am, 2:30 pm and 3:30 pm tours are in French, and the 11 am and 4 pm tours are in English.
