The St. Andrew’s Society of Montreal will hold Whiskey Fête 2015, a whisky-tasting event, on February 20, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., to raise funds for the establishment of the Canadian-Scottish Studies at McGill University in Montreal.
The event flyer invites us to “Join Iain McCallum of Morrison Bowmore for an evening of unique and rare Single Malt Scotches, 18 years and older, and other fine Scottish comestibles.”
This whisky-tasting event will be held at the University Club of Montreal at 2047 Mansfield Street. Tickets are $295. (A donation receipt of $130 will be issued.) Highland dress or business attire.
A Chair in Canadian-Scottish Studies at McGill will ensure that the role of the Scots in Montreal, Quebec, and Canada, from 1650 to date, will be a focus on academic work for generations to come. The Chair will help give Canadian-Scottish studies a new prominence and provide a valuable avenue through which the St. Andrew’s Society and the McEuen Scholarship Foundation can pursue their missions and objectives.
