Made in Canada Market Local artists designed brand clothing, jewelry, crafts and souvenirs are sold in this heritage building. This is one of the few locations promoting Canadian made products. Old Montreal is beautifully preserved and this building is great example mixing old building with new products.

Well it's a block down from where I live so I got over the whole aura of it. It's ok to be honest, it has a great history for sure but it's underwhelming. The shops are well maintained and very organized. It's a tourist attraction so it has all those kind of shops. Souvenir and Canada made products are available if you want to grab few..

An easily fixed safety hazard ! Upstairs in the room with photos of the victims of the Quebec Mosque shooting. Someone should have figured this out. I saw an elderly woman almost trip face-first into the wall (far left corner). I caught my balance when the toe of my shoe struck THE CURB ! ... when leaning forward to read the 'too small' text under those 2 photos. Or !! Just relocate those 2 photos.
