Walking Tour - Demystifying the Mile End
Monday, September 12, 2022, 11 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Eighteen members participated in a walking tour of the Mile End neighbourhood where they learned the answers to many questions: why is the area called Mile End, why are Montreal's two most famous bagel bakeries located there, what communities call (or called) it home? They saw how it is a crazy mix of mansions and workers' flats, stylish inter-war apartment blocks and 21st-century coops, small (and large) local businesses, workshops, factories, warehouses and much else. This tour certainly provided information that decoded the Mile End's mysteries. After the tour members quenched their thirsts and enjoyed a delightful meal at the on St. Laurent.
