I'm looking for

  • Want to let people in your neighbourhood know about a show or a community activity? Are you organizing a garage sale? Lost your cat? Do you offer classes and want to get the word out? Here is what’s available.

  • Organize or participate in a cleanup in your neighbourhood. Let’s clean up together!

  • Community gardens and collective gardens: Many boroughs offer you the chance to tend a vegetable garden. Find the right type of garden for your needs and enjoy taking part in urban agriculture.

  • Want to sign your child up for day camp? During winter break and in the summer, the city’s boroughs offer more than 170 day camps for children ages 3 to 16. Choose from among a wide spectrum of options.

  • Would you like to spruce up your flower beds or improve the soil of your vegetable garden? Did you know that plants, compost, and seeds can be yours free of charge in Montréal? See what your borough has to offer.

  • Thinking of creating a green alleyway in your neighbourhood? There are several steps involved in doing so, from mobilizing local residents to obtaining the support available through your borough.

  • Want to use the Internet? The city has developed the free MTLWiFi network, which is available in municipal libraries. You can also use a computer or tablet on site.

  • Pedestrian and shared-use streets, whether permanent or seasonal, provide a safe, enjoyable walking environment in the heart of the city. Try one out and you’ll discover new meeting places and opportunities for relaxation and entertainment in the heart of your favourite neighbourhoods.

  • Outdoor pianos are available all summer long in public places around Montréal. Try them out!

  • As soon as the warm weather returns, food trucks roll out into the boroughs of Montréal. These trucks have become a fixture at several local events.
