Examining a diverse, multicultural city
Montreal has always been a thriving, bustling metropolis.
With sizeable communites from at least 28 different ethnic groups, you can go around the world without leaving the island.
Debra Arbec does just that with her weekly segment My Montreal.
She digs into the city's vibrant cultural tapestry to showcase your neighbours, the pride they have in their heritage, and how it can be adapted to Canadian culture.
