Anyone who will be visiting the Ursuline museums/collections in Ottawa
or Quebec, might be interested in this video about their work. It's in
French and shows mostly embroidery (some lace) but the work shown is
wonderful and the video costs only C$20. You can read about it here:

seem to be able to order it from the English website, so let me know if
you need anything translated.
Also, in Montreal, and not lace-related but I bet we could use a lot of
the threads, is an embroidery economuseum. I haven't visited it before,
but it's on my list of things to do. It's called 'Economusee les
brodeuses' and is "a business, interpretive centre, distribution centre,
creative studio and school. It is also a meeting place for those with a
keen interest in embroidery. Visitors may consult the many resources in
the documentation centre, which has 1,500 books, magazines and
documents." Their website is:

stops (with a change of line at Berri) from the hotel. Here's the
website for the bus and metro system in Montreal:
