          Sounds like a great day for people watching and just wandering around Downtown,a walk along Saint Catherine (sans auto's)  for a couple of hours ,lunch at an outdoor cafe ,..or buy something.........Saint Catherine Street Annual Sidewalk Sale,,,sounds like the Wellington Street Promenade deal.just a largewr scale I guess.Oh well always something to do in Montreal,maybe spend the whole day Downtown & take in some sort of festival later on ......

here's the Gazette comment on this.

Loved this! Always stay at the Hotel Square Phillips in a lovely apartment when visiting. First stop is in front of the statue to buy pure maple sugar and maple sugar cookies at a kiosk....Yum!!!
