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.

Une lune du castor de novembre illuminera le ciel ce soir. La lune du castor 2025 — la pleine lune du mois de novembre — devrait être la plus grande et la plus brillante superlune de l’année. Ce rare phénomène céleste fera apparaître la lune plus grande et plus lumineuse qu’à l’habitude, pour le plus grand plaisir des amateurs d’astronomie à Montréal. À quelle heure la lune du castor apparaîtra-t-elle ? Comme la lune sera sous l’horizon à ce moment-là, le meilleur moment pour l’observer à Montréal sera les soirs des 4 et 5 novembre. La lune du castor atteindra son illumination maximale le 5 novembre 2025 à 8 h 19. Aucun télescope ni équipement spécial n’est nécessaire — il suffit d’un ciel dégagé pour en profiter pleinement. Selon MétéoMédia, le ciel de Montréal devrait être ensoleillé avec quelques nuages entre 8 h et 9 h le 5 novembre 2025. Photograph: Shutterstock / Fernando Astasio Avila Qu’est-ce qui fait de la lune du castor une superlune ? Selon la NASA, une superlune se produit lorsque la pleine lune se trouve au point le plus proche de la Terre dans son orbite. Comme l’orbite lunaire n’est pas parfaitement circulaire, la distance entre la Terre et la lune varie. Lorsqu’elle atteint son approche maximale — à environ 356 980 kilomètres —, la lune peut paraître jusqu’à 14 % plus grande et 30 % plus brillante que les autres pleines lunes. Pourquoi l’appelle-t-on la « lune du castor » ? Le nom « lune du castor » vient de la période de l’année où les castors se réfugient

November’s Beaver Moon will be lighting up the skies tonight. The Beaver Moon 2025—November’s full moon—is expected to be the biggest and brightest Supermoon of the year.  This rare celestial event will make the moon appear larger and more luminous than usual, captivating sky-watchers across the city. What time will the Beaver Moon appear? Since the moon will be below the horizon at that moment, the best time to see it in Montreal will be on the evenings of November 4 and November 5.  The Beaver Moon will reach peak illumination on November 5, 2025, at 8:19 a.m. ET.  No need for a telescope or special equipment—just a clear sky for the best view. According to the Weather Network, Montreal’s skies should be sunny and partly cloudy between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. on November 5, 2025. Photograph: Shutterstock / Fernando Astasio Avila What Makes the Beaver Moon a Supermoon? According to NASA, a Supermoon occurs when a full moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit.  Because the moon’s path around Earth isn’t a perfect circle, its distance varies.  When it reaches its nearest approach—just under 356,980 kilometres away—it can appear up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full moons. Why Is It Called the “Beaver Moon”? The Beaver Moon gets its name from the time of year when beavers take shelter in their lodges after storing food for winter.  The name dates back to early North American traditions and the Old Farmer’s Almanac, which notes that this moon typically signals

This spot, consistently one of the first cities in Canada to reach bone-chilling temperatures, has returned to its usual spot atop Canada’s coldest places.  On November 2, 2025, Eureka, Nunavut, recorded -30.5°C, marking the nation’s first reading below -30°C of the season. RECOMMENDED: Expect dangerous wind chills and prolonged deep freezes this winter if you live in Quebec Situated on Ellesmere Island, Eureka has long been known for setting freezing records.  Just weeks earlier, it registered Canada’s first -20°C of the fall, following the country’s first -10°C in nearby Isachsen in early September. According to the Weather Network, Eureka reached an all-time low of -55.3°C, on Feb. 15, 1979. The report went on to explain that the arctic air that plunged Eureka into freezing temperatures is now pushing south.  Meteorologists say this cold front is advancing into northern Manitoba, Hudson Bay, and northeastern Ontario. Although southern Canada won’t feel the impact immediately, the first real signs of winter are beginning to sweep down from the north. RECOMMENDED:Full guide to the best things to do in Montreal

Fondée en 2007, Pit Caribou a été la toute première microbrasserie de l’Est du Québec.

Photograph: Americas BBQ | Time Out Market Montréal Qu’est-ce qui rend Pit Caribou unique ? Le nom « Pit Caribou » vient d’un personnage — le bon vivant du village Pit Caribou — tiré de la célèbre série télévisée en noir et blanc Les Belles Histoires des Pays d’en Haut, que Francis Joncas, l’un des fondateurs, adorait regarder dans son enfance.Le caractère, justement, est au cœur de l’identité de Pit Caribou. Depuis sa création en 2007 par Francis Joncas et Benoit Couillard, la brasserie a produit des centaines de bières, dont les deux premières ont été brassées dans une ancienne usine de transformation de phoques, avec de l’équipement de ferme laitière recyclé. Au fil des ans, la brasserie s’est modernisée, agrandie et a remporté de nombreux prix. En 2019, Jean-François Nelli

Whether you’re a craft beer connoisseur or a casual pint drinker, this event is for you! The Beer Bar at Time Out Market Montréal is putting the spotlight on one of our favourite local microbreweries: Pit Caribou. Established in 2007, Pit Caribou was Eastern Quebec’s first microbrewery.

Photograph: Americas BBQ | Time Out Market Montréal What makes Pit Caribou so unique? The name “Pit Caribou” comes from a character—the village bon vivant Pit Caribou—featured in the classic black-and-white Radio-Canada soap Les Belles Histoires des Pays d’en Haut, which Francis Joncas, one of the brewery’s founders, loved watching as a child. Character has always been at the heart of Pit Caribou’s creations. Since its founding in 2007 by Francis Joncas and Benoit Couillard, the brewery has produced hundreds of beers, starting with its first two brewed in an old seal processing plant using repurposed dairy farm equipment. Over the years, the brewery modernized, expanded, and earned multiple awards. In 2019, Jean-François Nellis and Vincent Coderre took over the business, coinciding with the launch of Pit Caribou’s canned beers. Today, the duo proudly brews a diverse ran
