River as invitation, a three year-long project on ecological futures at the Jardins de Metis, a gathering was held at the Mouth of the Mitis River on June 21st 2023 to begin to trace, collect, and share materials, stories, and potential futures of the River and its surrounding ecologies. As the first installment of the CCA Master's Students Program exploring the river, shores, and lands at the Jardins de Métis in the lower Saint Lawrence region of Quebec, three architecture students reflect on the role of invitation as a process for researching and designing with river places.
