Old Port of Montreal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stretching for over two kilometres along the St-Lawrence River in Old Montreal, the Old Port Of Montreal has been the social, economic and cultural soul of Montreal ever since early French fur traders used it as a trading post in 1611. It was here that the city and the port came to life more than 350 years ago.
Today, the riverfront welcomes over seven million visitors per year. The historical Old Port offers Montrealers and visitors alike access to a wide variety of activities, thanks to a refrigerated skating rink, performances, horse-drawn carriages, the Montréal Science Centre and an IMAX Theatre.
The port is governed by the Montreal Port Authority (MPA), an autonomous federal agency whose mission is to provide highly-efficient facilities and services for its clients while respecting the environment.
