Here are five fun and local ways to celebrate being Canadian in Montreal:

  1. Indulge in Classic Canadian Eats
    Treat yourself to a truly Canadian feast—grab a smoked meat sandwich from Schwartz’s, some poutine from La Banquise, and finish it off with a beaver tail at the Old Port. Bonus points if you sip on a Caesar while you're at it!
  2. Explore Canadian History & Art
    Visit the McCord Museum or Pointe-à-Callière to dive into Canada’s rich history, or head to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to appreciate work from iconic Canadian artists like the Group of Seven.
  3. Go for a Nature Escape
    Get outdoors! Take a walk up Mount Royal for the best view of the city, or, if it’s winter, go skating at Beaver Lake—because what’s more Canadian than lacing up a pair of skates?
  4. Support Local Canadian-Made Goods
    Shop at Marché Jean-Talon or Atwater Market for locally produced maple syrup, cheeses, and artisan goods. You could even check out Canadian fashion brands at boutiques in Mile End or the Plateau.
  5. Celebrate with Canadian Music & Movies
    Have a Canadian music marathon with hits from Céline Dion, The Weeknd, Shania Twain, Arcade Fire, and Bryan Adams. Or, binge-watch iconic Canadian films like Bon Cop, Bad Cop, The Barbarian Invasions, or Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

Which one sounds the most fun to you?
