Old Montreal

Montreal is one of the most important urban centres in Canada and especially in the St. Lawrence Lowland. This is the official Web site of Old Montreal, the most historic part of the city. There are ongoing efforts to preserve Old Montreal as a tourist attraction and important business centre. The site provides a good map and 150 photographs in the Grand Tour link. This site can help students understand the importance of preserving the past as part of a plan for future prosperity.
