Well, after snow, more snow and TOO much snow, it appears that we may be able to put our shovels away by June!
After a record snowfall that buried the Eastern Townships in more than 75 cm of the white stuff and left Montrealers scrambling, we look forward to sunshine and melting snow.
As promised, here is Part 2 of our Montréal web design events for March 2011. We hope you will take advantage of the extended daylight and check out some of these events.
