Hi,
I live in Montreal and wanted to know if there were any parents from that region. If so, do you know any single parents organization in the city??? I love doing activies with my 22 months old, but would love to meet other parents and organize group activities.
Thanks!!!

Hi Smile-at-Life...unfortunately don't know of any groups like that in Montreal..but I am not too far from you...am about two hours away ...

Hi SPC,
Thanks for replying. I lived almost all my life in Ottawa (Orleans region). I only moved to Montreal 2 years ago. I'm thinking of going back to Ottawa in 1-2 years since all my family is there. Plus, it's such a beautiful and quiet city.

Take care,

Hi Smile at life,

I am in the west of Ottawa...just moved from the east end. If your family is Ottawa, what prompted you to move to Montreal? I love Montreal by the way...I almost moved there to complete a Therapy program they have there at Concordia.

Hi SPC,
I moved to MTL for two reasons... I was first convinced to move here by my son's father. The second reason is my job. While in Ottawa, I was applying for positions in both cities and ended up receiving a good offer here. Montreal is a great city. I'm simply not convinced it's for me. Plus I have to travel 2 hours anytime I want to see my family.

Take care,

Smile-at-life...

I realize this post is a couple of months old...have you moved to Ottawa yet or are you still in Montreal?

Hi SPC,
I hope you're doing well. I will leave Montreal in the Summer of 2009 (My son will start school in Fall 2009). I am not certain that I will go Back to Ottawa, I'm still undecided as to where I want to establish my life.

Thank you for asking and take care.

well when your ready to move to ottawa and you need someone to chat with, let me know.

Hello, I live in Montreal and I'm two months pregnant. I want to stay here even though I'm from Ontario because I want my child to be bilingual. Also, I grew up in the country and I think it will be better for me and my child to stay in the city. That way when my kid's old enough for post-secondary education, she can live with me while she goes to school. (I don't know the gender yet, I just don't like to say "it.") The reason why I didn't finish university was because I couldn't afford living expenses and tuition at the same time and I'd like university to be more accessible for my child. There seems to be a lot of fun things for kids here too, like the Insectarium and La Ronde. Where I grew up we just had tobacco fields.
