Montreal is a major port city, being at the mouth of the Saint Lawrence Seaway which links it to the industrial centres of the Great Lakes.
Montreal is slated to host the Gay Games in 2006; the city, with its huge Village, the largest gay village in North America, hosts several major circuit parties[?] and is an epicentre of gay life in Canada.
Montreal was the capital of the Province of Canada from 1844 to 1849.
The MontrealMetro is the main form of public transportation for the city of Montreal and was the second metro system to be built in Canada, opening 12 years after the Toronto subway.
The Metro was inaugurated on October 14, 1966, during the tenure of Mayor Jean Drapeau.
Montreal's rolling stock is among the oldest still in use on any metro system in the world, and the STM is pressing the provincial government hard for the large investment necessary to replace the trains.
