WELCOME TO E.N.C.O.R.E.
ENCORE is a Montreal-based, non-profit seniors’ organization that is managed by volunteers. Its primary mission is to provide its membership a stimulating venue for intellectual development and personal well-being.
In 2022, our membership exceeded 500 and with the introduction of Zoom, we are proud to have members from coast to coast.
Our courses
ENCORE offers a new curriculum 6 times a year. These are spread out as follows: 1 winter, 2 spring, 1 summer and 2 fall sessions. Each session lasts 6 weeks. In addition to this, we offer walking tours in late spring and early fall.
Our instructors

Over the course of its history, ENCORE has been blessed with a multitude of very talented and extremely dedicated instructors. We are grateful for their continued support and enthusiasm to share their knowledge and expertise with our members.
GALLERIES
This section focuses on displaying online exhibitions of art work that our very talented students have created in the past years – receiving instruction from our most notable teachers, Claire Cayer and Deanne Habeeb.
We hope to be able to host an in-person art exhibition again in the Spring of 2024.
