Spring Break Agenda in Montreal
Spring Break is a Canadian tradition that breaks up the country's endless winter by setting aside a week in early March to head for the sun or get away from it all. It's to combat seasonal depression...
Fans of “Heated Rivalry” can now spend a weekend at the Cottage—now available on Airbnb.
The love story we're all fantasizing about this winter isn't Emerald Fennel's violently romantic tragedy Wuthering Heights ( 2025), it's the ultra-sexy relationship between two hockey players in Heated Ri...
“Eaux Vives”—an aquatic exhibition to see before the river thaws
A friend told me a few days ago that she loves Montreal's Old Port but never goes there in winter. "The wind! The wind is too icy!" Like all Montrealers, she is an expert at finding warmth and streets whe...
Weather forecast for spring 2026 in Montreal
What will we do when spring returns? Head to the countryside with our rain boots (the same ones we've had for 10 years, which are slightly embarrassing due to their condition but protect us from the mud)...

Maybe we're jumping the gun, and maybe it's because New York is in the middle of a blizzard and we're enjoying some (icy) sunshine this week that's warming our cheeks. But we're planning our spring outing...
The Montreal metro is open (almost) all night long for Nuit Blanche.
Nuit Blanche is a night when we don't sleep— and we're very lucky because the STM won't sleep either. At least, it will go to bed very, very late. This year, in 2026, marks the 23rd edition of the even...
An hour and a half from Montreal, this village has an ice rink and a very cute main street.
Mont Royal is covered in slush, unfortunately, and with a little cynicism and a virus caught in a speakeasy whereeveryone is crowded together and coughing in each other's hair, winter in Montreal can quickly feel long....
