    The Bulletin: Remembering the last year & hitting refresh with a new one [Issue #110]

    The Bulletin is a collection of what's happened, what’s happening, and what’s to come in and around Montreal.

    Welcome to 2025, Montreal. It's gonna be a big one, we can feel it.

    Then again, every year's a big year full of promising changes, but after we did our annual review of all the headlines throughout 2024, we saw a lot of promised developments for the city: Big laws were passed, big developments are on the way, monuments will be built (we hope, anyway), the ground will be broken on huge projects like new neighbourhoods and airports... it's a lot.

    But that's not the only reason we spend a ridiculous amount of time gathering up all the headlines of the past year—we do it because the only way to know where you're going is to know where you've been.
