What Quebecers are doing to entertain others in coronavirus self-isolation

While Quebecers are doing their best to practise social distancing, they are turning to the worldwide web to keep themselves and others entertained.

We’ve compiled a list of some of the fun activities you can join in.

Granby Zoo animal lessons

The Granby Zoo is hosting educational videos on its Facebook and Instagram pages on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Each day, the zoo’s experts talk about a different topic and suggest a kid-friendly activity to do at home based on what they’ve learned.
