Guided tour of the port facilities

Fancy a trip to the hub of port activities? The Port of Montreal is pleased to offer citizens a guided bus tour of one of its container terminals. This is a rare opportunity to visit port facilities that are usually closed to the public and to learn more about freight transport, which plays such an important role in our daily lives. And it's free!
