Montreal 2017? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**streMunford** · 02-02-2011, 07:36 PM

The Montreal Orchid Society (Les Orchidophiles de Montréal) is making a move to hold the World Orchid Congress in Montreal in 2017. A formal proposition will be presented to the World Orchid Congress Trust later this year.
Montreal is a pefect site for a World Orchid Congress. It has one of the top Botanical garden in the world, with some of the best garderners and an extensive orchid collection. It also has plenty of hotel rooms and a huge complex downtown capable of holding the event.
I hope I'll see you there if the WOCT chose Montreal for the 2017 W.O.C.

That's a big undertaking. Good luck, Montreal!

**streMunford** · 02-02-2011, 08:28 PM

Montreal already has a great expertise in world events. It held the World Exposition in 1967, one of the best on record; the 1976 Summer Olympics, the International Floralies expostion in 1980. It is also home to the Montreal Jazz Festival, the only Formula 1 Grand Prix in North America and the Festival Juste Pour Rire. The Cirque du Soleil was also founded in Montreal and Guy Laliberté is a member of the Orchidophiles de Montréal, though we never have the chance to see him. Now, how many orchid societies anywhere in the world has a member astronaut?

That would be so cool! I'm in!!!

**Poothevokprot** · 02-02-2011, 09:49 PM

YES for Montreal

That would be a good trip, W.O.S. and Bleu-Blanc-Rouge

**Evelinessa** · 02-02-2011, 10:23 PM

Would love WOC to be back in North America! Cool. Good luck!

Will have to search for clubs with astronauts here in FL...

Are you sure there are no other F1 GPs in North America?

Also china already presented for holding the 2017 WOC.In 2010 officially presented and seems already shure to win the race.The Sanya China international orchids show is already at his 5th edition and they do a huge effort every year to do it better.In my opinion untill now is not yet ready to hold the WOC for some burocratical reasons...but china have thhe power to change so fast...so no one can say...

Also Montreal will be fantastic!

Here are the WOCT rules for according the event.

A World Orchid Conference (a WOC) is held every third year, each time in a different city, on a different continent or a different hemisphere, hosted and organised by local, regional or national orchid groups. This series of Conferences has now passed its half-century, having run without interruption since 1954.

This year, the WOC is in Singapore, three years from now in South Africa and I just don't see China in 2017 if the rules continue to apply. My guess is it will be held either somewhere in South America or Montreal.
We can expect stiff competition however.

**Evelinessa** · 03-02-2011, 03:49 PM

Patience. If you don't win the 2017 bid, there are many to follow. Regardless, whenever it's in Montreal, I'll see you there too! Best of luck!!!
