McGill's Co-Curricular Record (CCR) is becoming the new Student Experience Record (SER), which will be launched in Fall 2025 in the myFuture platform. This change will enhance the way we recognize and document student learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom. See more information about the SER here.

The deadline to submit CCR participation/attendance lists has passed. Activities that took place before July 1, 2025, were eligible for the CCR, but any participant lists received after August 1 will not be processed. Historical CCR data will be preserved and migrated to the SER for current students.

My Neighbour's Faith: Ratha-yatra - Festival of India

Saturday, July 8, 2023 12:15to15:00
Office of Religious and Spiritual Life, 3610 McTavish, Rm. 36-2, Montreal, Quebec, CA
My Neighbour

Join MORSL for an outdoor summer installment of My Neighbour’s Faith! We will attend the Festival of India in downtown Montreal. The event starts with a parade that celebrates sacred stories from Hindu theology. It enacts a chariot ride, or Ratha-yatra, of the deity Krishna and his siblings Baladev and Subhadra. Parade attendees pull a forty-foot float carrying the gods down Boulevard St-Laurent, while others sing and dance. After the parade, we’ll enjoy a free vegetarian meal and learn about Hindu traditions at the festival at Jeanne-Mance Park.

Gather at MORSL at 12:15 PM. We'll travel to the parade location together. Please bring a metro pass or ticket. Please dress for a day outside in hot weather and wear comfortable shoes. Bring a hat or sunglasses, sunblock, and a water bottle. MORSL will bring some snacks. If the forecast looks like rain, we recommend brining an umbrella and/or rain jacket.
