Days are getting shorter as the sun begins to set earlier and earlier. For lovers of summer, this is when hibernation season officially begins.
But, others, who embrace the changing temperatures, instead take full advantage of every minute of daylight. And when you live in Montreal, getting out there, rain or shine, is probably your best bet.
Lucky for you, there’s always plenty to do in this city no matter the time of year.
