No Olympic flame for Montreal
There’s some disappointment that there will be no Olympic flame passing through Montreal in advance of the Olympics this summer in Paris. Tourisme Montréal’s video referenced in the item.

I remember that some buildings downtown did lighting stuff, I think corner Beaver-Hall / Dorchester. I seem to remember that it was the HQ of the Canadian Olympic Committee or something. Also, they used to light the Olympic flame on the corner of Pie-IX / Sherbrooke.

The Canadian Olympic Committee is in the building at the south west corner of Rene Levesque and Beaver Hall so that checks out.

That dopey sculpture in front of it represents the Olympic flame.
