Old Montreal is one of North America’s most unique and memorable destinations. Founded over 360 years ago, Montreal was one of the first cities to be settled when ships arrived from Europe by way of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Over the years, Montreal has become a city at the forefront of modern technology, and has also managed to keep its distinctive European flavor.
That very fusion of heritage and technology is the inspiration for this web site, which will officially launch this year.
Today, the oldest sector of the city is experiencing growth and expansion like never before. Over a dozen significant new structures have been built, and many more have been restored and renovated. This web site will be among the major additions to the old port’s "new" heart, serving as a portal for the events, attractions, activities, services and products available in the area.
