New state-of-the-art Walmart coming to Montreal shopping centre

This week Walmart Canada announced that a new, state-of-the-art 140,000 sq ft Supercentre will be built in the heart of the Marché Central shopping centre.

Revegetation of the site for the reduction of heat island effect (biodiversity)
Prioritization of active travel methods via safe and continuous pedestrian courses as well as the implementation of a cycling network (active mobility)
