Graduation gift: a poster of the city where they studied

The diploma is in hand, the lease is running out, and the city where they studied is about to become a place they come back to visit. Give the new grad a way to keep it on the wall, wherever they land next.

The poster is 8.5 × 11 in and costs $20. It's drawn and printed in Montréal, in the season you choose.

Québec City, for Université Laval alumni

A few years of studying in Québec City leave landmarks you recognize from far off: the Château Frontenac, Cap Diamant, Petit-Champlain. A nice way to say well done to a Université Laval grad heading off to work somewhere else.

Sherbrooke, for UdeS graduates

After UdeS, Wellington Street, Lac des Nations and Saint-Michel Cathedral stay in mind. The poster puts them back in view, here under the snow, for someone who spent their winter terms in the Eastern Townships.

Trois-Rivières, for UQTR graduates

For a UQTR graduate, the Laviolette Bridge and the Ursulines convent in spring, the season when the last term wraps up.

Montréal, or the Plateau

Studied in Montréal? Mount Royal, the big wheel and the Olympic Stadium, for someone leaving town with their degree. If those student years mostly happened on the Plateau, the neighbourhood poster, with Carré Saint-Louis, hits even closer to home.

The season of their studies

Every city in the collection comes in all four seasons. The autumn of their first term or the season of their graduation: pick the one that brings those years back the most.

Postcards to write to their cohort

Along with the poster, add a postcard pack: all four seasons of one city, enough to write a few lines to classmates once everyone has gone their own way.

The pack is $15 in 4 × 6 in (instead of $16) or $22 in 5 × 7 in (instead of $24).
