    The Bulletin: Two centuries of parades, a decade of tacos, and our future in 25 years [Issue #120]

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

    The Bulletin: Two centuries of parades, a decade of tacos, and our future in 25 years [Issue #120]Photograph: The United Irish Societies of Montreal

    Seems all too fitting that we 'sprung forward' this past weekend, as this edition of the Bulletin seems to be all about telling time, celebrating past time, and looking at times to come. We're coming upon that precipice where winter turns to spring, and with that comes all the seasonal hallmarks that remind us how the great clockwork of everything all around us moves forward.

    Only thing is, scrolling through this weekend specifically will reveal everything from a celebration of 200 years of the city's St. Patrick Day Parade (fun fact: this parade has been celebrated every year since 1824, making it the oldest and largest after New York’s!). Then there's gazing into the crystal ball of the city's plans for 2050, and a bunch of places celebrating anniversaries: Some being a decade in business, other just beginning their journeys with one or two years, and some even closing up shop after serving Montreal for 12 years.
