THE BONSECOURS MARKET: AT THE HEART OF A VIBRANT NEIGHBOURHOOD

A Place to Live

Thanks to the continuing investments of the City of Montreal and the private sector in the residential development of Old-Montreal and its neighbouring areas, the residential population of Old-Montreal continues to increase; today, there are close to 3 000 people who call it home.

A Place to Work

Old-Montreal remains a district that is home to many financial institutions, newspapers and the Courts of Law, as well as several municipal and government departments. It plays host to some 35 000 working people, of which 30 000 of them are office employees.

A Place to Visit

The dynamic network of tourist venues in Old-Montreal attracts over eleven million visitors every year. The latter spend approximately $95 million annually in Old-Montreal and $35 million in the Old-Port.

Downtown Montreal has about 10 000 hotel rooms. Several inns, hotels and "bed & breakfasts" have also opened their doors within Old-Montreal itself.
