I've never been in Montreal, only driven through on the way to Ontario, but I would love to visit and spend some time there and in Quebec City as well. In fact, I'd like to go to Ontario again too. It seems we just land and take off in Montreal or Toronto on our way to and from Calgary. Thanks for sharing some of the historical churches of Montreal.

I have driven by the cathedral when we were in Montreal and noted all the steps....but when I see what they aspire to I am now more tempted to actually transcend the stairs and visit the garden.
