Activities for children
In most of the boroughs, there are free recreational and cultural activities
for children.
Early
childhood professionals can benefit from specialized training and activities
offered in all 19 boroughs by the Association montréalaise pour le développement
des loisirs des tout-petits. A city partner since 1983, the organization has
developed an approach that fosters development through play.

Heritage of expression
Heritage of expression includes skills
and knowledge based on traditional and popular culture. Throughout Montréal,
artisans, musicians and amateur dance troupes help to keep the traditions of
their country of origin alive and share them with others through metropolitan
activities and events.

For nearly 50 years, the Association
montréalaise des arts et traditions
populaires has invited citizens to participate in outdoor dances that take
place at Beaver Lake on Mount Royal. Two evenings a week during the summer,
organizers offer a repertory of international folk dance.
