Who are the Neighbours of the Port?
Port facilities border several neighbourhoods in the City of Montreal, Montreal East and Contrecœur on the South Shore. We take dialogue with our neighbours to heart. The Neighbours of the Port are informed whenever there are project works in their sector and they receive special invitations to our Port in the City events in addition to news that may concern them. We also partner on a number of projects with organizations that foster education in marine industry careers, economic development and environmental protection.
You are one of our Neighbours if you are a resident or a business located within 300 metres of Port territory.
