The places where stuff like nightlife, art, culture, and affordable food and drink can be found on every corner and down every backstreet. Where diversity is championed and independent businesses thrive, from old-school boltholes to the newest avant-garde art space. Put simply, the world’s coolest neighbourhoods are places that represent the soul of our cities, while maintaining their own unique local character that draws people in to live, work and play. So, what are the neighbourhoods that fit the bill this year? To find out, we asked our network of writers and editors across a breadth of cities to nominate the vibiest district in their hometown right now. We then ranked every neighbourhood against criteria including culture, community, liveability, nightlife, food and drink, street life and that hard-to-define sense of ‘nowness’.  On our list this year, you’ll find everything from homely, village-like enclaves with tight-knit communities to revitalised city-centre hubs and formerly dormant, industrial areas transformed into creative districts. Many are underrated spots that sit in the shadow of their commercialised counterparts; others have become unexpected culinary hotspots or magnets for the city’s artists, writers and activists. What they all have in common is a DIY spirit – and an unshakeable proclivity f

Visiting Old Montreal is a one-stop-shop for some of the best things to do in this city, and walking through the neighbourhood alone is one of the city’s best attractions. The near-400-year history of the area reveals itself as you wander through its cobblestone streets, narrow alleyways, and shadows of its towering structures that once served as some of the most important facilities of the Port of Montreal. The distinct charm of this area can be chalked up to its charismatic architecture, ease of walkability and the diversity of bars, restaurants, museums and boutiques that line its streets in all directions. Any given walkthrough will help remind you that Montreal once stood as the economic heart of Canada, painting a beautiful portrait of the wealthy financial institutions once backed by Scottish and British merchants.

Bonne nouvelle : alors qu’aucun service de métro ni d’autobus n’est offert ce week-end, les trajets seront gratuits toute la fin de semaine sur la nouvelle ligne du REM à Montréal. Pour souligner l’ouverture de la nouvelle ligne Deux-Montagnes et McGill après six ans de travaux, les 14 stations seront officiellement inaugurées le vendredi 14 novembre 2025. Trois des stations se connectent au réseau du métro de Montréal : Bonaventure (orange), McGill (verte) et Édouard-Montpetit (bleue). Ironiquement, les visiteurs ne pourront pas prendre le métro ni les autobus de la STM pour s’y rendre en raison de la grève prévue des chauffeurs d’autobus et des opérateurs de métro ce week-end.

MISE À JOUR – 13 novembre 2025 : Le Tribunal administratif du travail (TAT) a rendu sa décision établissant les services essentiels à maintenir en cas de grève du syndicat représentant les chauffeurs d’autobus, les opérateurs de métro et les agents de station durant la fin de semaine des 15 et 16 novembre 2025. Si aucune entente n’est conclue d’ici là, le TAT a statué qu’il n’y aura aucun service de bus ni de métro pendant ces deux journées.

La STM a confirmé que la suspension de la grève des employés de maintenance permettra la reprise d’un service ininterrompu dès mercredi matin. Les employés de maintenance ont officiellement mis fin à la grève, mais le retour à la normale se fera progressivement. Le syndicat représentant les 2 400 employés de maintenance, affilié à la CSN, a annoncé que la grève — en cours depuis le début novembre — sera suspendue à 6 h mercredi matin afin de permettre aux négociations d’avancer. Le service de bus devrait commencer à 6 h 15 et celui du métro à 6 h 30. RECOMMANDÉ : Plus de flocons dans le sud du Québec La grève à la STM est-e

UPDATE, November 13, 2025: The Administrative Labour Tribunal (TAT) has issued its decision establishing the essential services to be maintained in the event of a strike by the union representing bus drivers, metro operators, and station attendants during the weekend of November 15 and 16, 2025. If no agreement is reached by then, the TAT has ruled that there will be no bus or metro service during those two days. If the strike proceeds, here are the essential service schedules: Metro schedule: No service on November 15 and 16 Service would resume Monday, November 17, at 5:30 a.m. Bus schedule: No service on November 15 and 16 Bus service would end Saturday, November 15, at 4:00 a.m. and resume Monday, November 17, at 4:00 a.m. One of two Montreal transit strikes has officially come to an end. The STM has confirmed that the suspension of the maintenance workers’ strike will allow it to resume uninterrupted service starting Wednesday morning. Maintenance workers have officially halted the strike, the return to normal operations will be gradual. The union representing the 2,400 maintenance employees, affiliated with the CSN, announced that the strike—ongoing since early November—will be suspended at 6 a.m. on Wednesday to give negotiations a chance to move forward. Bus service was said to start at 6:15 a.m. and metro service at 6:30 a.m. Is the STM strike over in Montreal?

MISE À JOUR 12 novembre 2025 : Mercredi s’annonce comme une spectaculaire reprise des aurores boréales, potentiellement l’une des plus impressionnantes de l’année. Selon le Space Weather Prediction Center de la NOAA, une violente tempête géomagnétique de magnitude G4 est prévue, après la forte tempête G3 de mardi. Cette veille rare de G4 ne se produit que quelques fois par an, avec un pic d’activité attendu entre 10 h et 14 h HNE, bien que l’horaire puisse changer selon la vitesse de la prochaine éjection de masse coronale. Un puissant spectacle G3 est attendu après le coucher du soleil et pourrait se prolonger toute la nuit, offrant à de nombreux Canadiens une nouvelle occasion d’observer les aurores. Bien que le moment favorise une visibilité étendue, la couverture nuageuse locale et les conditions météorologiques pourraient nuire à la vue. D’abord, il y a eu la lune du castor. Maintenant, préparez-vous à voir des aurores boréales surboostées. Selon un rapport de MétéoMédia, le ciel canadien s’apprête à offrir un spectacle spatial spectaculaire dans les nuits à venir. Le meilleur ? Les longues nuits d’hiver augmentent considérablement vos chances d’admirer les aurores boréales. Ces dernières semaines, astronomes solaires et passionnés de météo spatiale ont été témoins d’une série impressionnante d’éruptions. Une veille de tempête géomagnétique intense a été émise pour la nuit du jeudi 6 novembre jusqu’au vendredi 7 novembre, promettant un spectacle potentiellement spectacul

UPDATE November 12, 2025: Wednesday promises a spectacular encore of the Northern Lights, potentially one of the most impressive displays of the year. According to the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, a severe G4 geomagnetic storm is forecast, following Tuesday’s strong G3 storm. This rare G4 watch occurs only a few times a year, with peak activity expected between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. EST, though the timing could shift depending on the speed of the incoming coronal mass ejection. The strong G3 display is expected after sunset and may continue overnight, giving many Canadians a chance to catch the auroras one more time. While the timing favours widespread visibility, local cloud cover and weather conditions could impact the view. First came the Beaver Moon. Now, get ready for Northern Lights on overdrive. According to a report by the Weather Network, the Canadian skies are gearing up to deliver some spectacular space weather in the nights ahead. The best part? Longer winter nights dramatically boost your chances of catching the Northern Lights. Over the past few weeks, both solar astronomers and space weather enthusiasts have been treated to a dazzling sequence of eruptions.  A strong geomagnetic storm watch has been issued for late on Thursday, November 6 through Friday, November 7, which means a potentially intense display. RECOMMENDED: Expect dangerous wind chills and prolonged deep freezes this winter if you live in Quebec When can you see the northern lights in Canada

On Tuesday morning, a mix of heavy snow and rain caused significant power outages in several regions. In Montreal, approximately 49,035 customers out of just over a million were without electricity. According to Hydro-Québec, wet snow, weighed down by strong winds, weakened trees still bearing leaves, caused branches to fall onto the power grid due to the extra weight. The Hydro Quebec site states that crews have been mobilized to restore service as quickly as possible. In Montérégie alone, nearly 114,000 homes were affected, with more than 77,000 addresses without power in Lanaudière. You can track your service status here. How to get around Montreal?
