We will be travelling in Canada over the next few weeks and we were wondering what contra
events might be happening? We will be in Montreal and Halifax, and a few places in
between. Also in Vancouver at the end.
Many thanks.

Both Montreal (http://www.contramontreal.org/ website to be updated soon)
and Halifax (https://www.halifaxcontra.ca/) have regular dances, as well as
Ottawa (https://ottawacontra.ca/). Montreal does not yet have a dance
weekend, not sure about Halifax. Ottawa is skipping their fall dance
weekend, Hey Fever, this year.
Hope to see you at one of the dances!

Hi!
We help run Toronto Contra Dance. Our first dance of the new season is September 9th. We
dance on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month.

There is a dance in Mahoney Bay this weekend. We happen to be in Nova
Scotia currently but return to the US on Wednesday, so will miss it
ourselves.
Here's what I got in response to my earlier inquiry:
"Hello, glad you found us!
We do have a dance in August on, Saturday the 24th. Doors open at 6pm,
dance starts at 6:30.
We meet in the Anglican Church Hall at 14 Parish Street in Mahone Bay. It's
the nearest building across from Tim Horton's.
Hope you can join us!

If you're interested in Quebec Squares, there's likely a few dances around
in the general vicinity of Montreal over the next few weeks.
Let me know if that's of interest and I'll connect you to people in the
know.
As for contras in Ottawa... they run September through to June.

http://simplifyconnections.appspot.com/?place=contraUSA
is a link which can be used by local dance organizers to inform dance gypsies of regular
dances.
The map does not presently show all of Canada but can be slid around to include more.
You can experiment with the link by going omitting the "/?..." at the end of the
link. Or just experiment at the full link.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Btw, I see that the Toronto group already has a pin in the map.
