While we're all about looking forward to a new year with the arrival of 2025, we also like to take a moment to remember everything that happened in the past year.
As the flow of information fries our brains to the point of not remembering what happened just last week, digging through an entire year's worth of stories means taking a moment to recall and reflect—you'd be surprised what you might've forgotten about.
From a year that began with debates over Montreal’s tramway plans and a bold revival of Quartier Latin to torrential rainfalls and the closure of beloved institutions, 2024 proved to be anything but predictable. Major headlines tackled everything from housing affordability and climate resilience to linguistic battles and cultural preservation, with some issues igniting fierce debates and others quietly simmering in the background. If it felt like a whirlwind, you’re not alone—it’s been a lot to keep up with.
