Notes for the long weekend
This Friday is the 382nd anniversary of the founding of Montreal and this is a long weekend, with Monday standing in for Victoria Day.
Weekend notes from La Presse, CultMTL, CityCrunch. And it’s going to be hot.
Weekend driving crises including a segment of the 40 between the 15 and Cavendish closed all weekend for repaving.

You mean the Journée des Patriotes, of course.

I don’t remember how many years it was called the Fête du Dollard.

Semi-O/T but in the last 24 hours, I’ve received two requests for work to be delivered on Monday, both from an entity of the Quebec government. When I pointed out that Monday was a holiday, this is the reply I got: “…plusieurs ne prennent pas ou n’ont pas ce lundi comme férié.”

Tell them you’re shocked they’re not celebrating the Patriotes?
