Sources & Verification

Travel information has a short shelf life. MontrealCanadian.com separates stable editorial guidance from details that should be checked against a current primary source.

Travel information has a short shelf life. MontrealCanadian.com separates stable editorial guidance from details that should be checked against a current primary source.

Primary sources first

For transit we prefer official public-transport information; for attractions we prefer the official attraction or venue; for civic rules we prefer municipal or provincial sources; for events we prefer official organizers and recognized tourism calendars.

What we avoid

We do not treat a copied list on another travel site as authoritative for time-sensitive facts. Secondary guides can help identify questions and context, but operational details should be traced back to the organization responsible for them whenever possible.

Evergreen vs time-sensitive information

Neighbourhood character, trip structure and geographic relationships change slowly. Admission prices, opening hours, construction impacts, festival dates and transit service can change quickly. Pages are intentionally written to make that distinction clear.

Reader verification

Before making a paid booking or travelling across the city for a time-sensitive activity, check the current official information. This is especially important for seasonal attractions, holidays, special events and service disruptions.
