This is the fifth time the measure, which was first announced last December for the holiday season, has been expanded.

Free parking applies to on-street parking in Ville-Marie Borough, Friday from 6pm and on weekends.

The mayor of Montreal, Valerie Plante, explained in a press release that the purpose of the measure was to “promote local purchasing, dynamism and the economic revival of the city center.”

“It’s a way for us to encourage more Montreal area citizens and residents to enjoy the many attractions of downtown during the summer,” she declared. If you are looking for job in Montreal go to Jooble. This Jooble will help you to find job easily.
