This question came from a 9-year-old boy who is curious about our sewer system, so you’d better believe we took him and his dad on a field trip to Montreal’s wastewater treatment plant! We find out what happens to the water we use and what we c
Teeth-rattling, rim-shattering, hub-cap-catapulting potholes seem to be everywhere you turn in Montreal. Sometimes they lurk underneath puddles, just waiting to throw you off your bike, or damage your car. So why are there so many, and why do t
If you’ve ever bought a lottery ticket or placed a bet at a Quebec casino, you may have wondered where that money ends up. How much of the money that Montrealers gamble ends up invested back into services that they use? Turns out there are limi
For more than a century, the name Christophe-Colomb Avenue has appeared on Montreal street signs. The Italian-born navigator is known for leading several voyages for the Spanish crown to what we now know as the Americas. While he never set foot
From 1923 to 1983, the sounds of a rumbling roller coaster, carnival games, and the laughter of a giant animatronic woman invited people to Belmont Park, an amusement park along the Des Prairies river in Cartierville. Its wild history ties toge
Every July 1, many Montrealers find themselves on the move, not just with their tables, chairs, couches and beds, but with their fridges and stoves too. Apartments here are often rented without appliances included, which does not seem to be a c
As of this week, some Montreal-area transit users are now able to reload their Opus cards with the Chrono app, instead of waiting in long lines at kiosks. The function is expected to be rolled out widely this month. But we still can’t tap payme
Construction is such a part of life here that the orange and white striped cone has gone from a simple marker on the road, to a symbol of Montreal itself. But why are there so many cones and why does it seem like some of them linger so long? We
If you look at a compass or maps app, you may notice our sense of direction in Montreal is a bit…tilted. Our “north” leans pretty far west and if you head over to the South Shore and keep going, you end up in the Eastern Townships...which are n
In Montreal, we toss all of our recycling in a bin at the curb and it gets sorted out later. But in recent years, we’ve seen headlines about recycling piling up and the difficulties of finding markets for certain materials like paper and glass.
When the plans for rebuilding the Turcot interchange were unveiled back in 2010, they included an artist’s rendering of an elevated park over Highway 20: the Dalle Parc. It was meant to serve as a pedestrian and cyclist path connecting NDG and
More than twenty years ago, a group of young activists, families, unhoused people and punks occupied an old hospital building to draw attention to a dire housing crisis. CBC reporter Erika Morris walks us through the history of this type of hou
Join us on a stroll back in time to Victorian-era Montreal, when some of Canada’s richest families settled on the slope of Mount Royal in the Golden Square Mile. We’ll look at what the remaining row houses and mansions tell us about power, weal
If you walk or bike along the Des Carrières rail path through Rosemont, you might come across a miniature skate park, complete with tiny ramps, half pipes, rails and little graffiti. We get to the bottom of who’s behind this public art piece sl
Whether you’re running errands, on a commute, or just spending an afternoon in a Montreal park, lack of washroom access can be a barrier for people who want to participate in city life. So why don’t we have more public washrooms? We break down

If you’ve ever made your way through the city, hitting every red light along the way, you might have wondered this too. In recent years, Montreal has upgraded its traffic coordination system, but you still might not notice it. We’ll break it do
Spicy, savoury, fresh off the grill...whether it’s served on a pillowy Portuguese bun, or paired with roast potatoes or poutine, Montrealers seem to love Portuguese chicken. We explore the roots of this dish, how it made its way to Montreal and
Do you have a question about Montreal? Host Ainslie MacLellan is determined to help find the answer. Whether it’s a story that’s disappeared from the headlines, a curious landmark in your neighbourhood, or a quirk of Montreal life you’ve been w
