All over. - Aug 2012


No. Even in Westmount. Check out the Westmount city hall the minute you arrive and try to sign up for things. Most sports will be oversubscribed by locals, and the seasons are super brief because, as it was explained, 70% of the kids go away to camp for summer. So, for three weeks in May, they crowd the fields to play soccer on a team that they signed up for in September on a day that was unadvertised beyond the local newsletter. This is no exaggeration - and may it be a warning that if you want your kid to play sports, you must work very hard to find them opportunities. - Sep 2009


Lots, especially in Westmount. If that's your cup of tea, make sure you get a house within Westmount. - Jan 2009
