Guided tour of Saint-Laurent boulevard!

As part of its Pointe-à-Callière Cultural Outings series available exclusively to Members, the Foundation is pleased to invite you to its second activity : a guided tour of Saint-Laurent Boulevard!

We’ll follow in the footsteps of an expert guide from the Héritage Montreal Foundation—Pointe-à-Callière’s partner for this exceptional cultural outing—as we make our way up the “Main” from Prince-Arthur Street to Laurier Street.

Along the way, we’ll explore the history of the artisans’ workshops and small neighbourhood stores that gave way to a succession of clothing manufacturers, making Saint-Laurent Boulevard one of Canada’s most important manufacturing hubs. We’ll also explore how the Main’s essentially commercial nature, which drew thousands of workers from various cultural communities, has evolved to what it is today.
