Here are five fun and local ways to celebrate being Canadian in Montreal:
- 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! - 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. - 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? - 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. - 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?
