Montreal, Quebec sits on an island in the St. Lawrence River – the city was considered a strategic location long before the arrival of Europeans in Canada. In 14 days, though, Montreal will explore strategic locations in ways surely not envisioned by French colonists. Airports Council International – North America is holding its May 31 [...] [...more]
