April First In Corporate Apartments Could Bring Pranks

Watch out tomorrow if you are living in corporate apartments in Montreal.......don't panic; it's only because it's April Fools Day and in Canada there is a history of silly pranks.  On April Fools Day in 1979 Frank Jones of the Toronto Star reported that radiation was leaking into Lake Ontario.  As a result, prehistoric creatures were crawling up out of the lake and onto the shores of Ward's Island.  Well, you can imagine the panic and chaos.  After many, many people traveled to the shores to see the phenomenon for themselves...................it was discovered that is was an April Fools Day prank.  So, keep your senses sharp, say focused and don't be a victim of a silly prank tomorrow.  Have a great day in Montreal!

Celebrate Canadian Holidays While Living In Furnished Apartments In April

While living in furnished apartments in Canada in April, the holidays may be a bit different than the US.  So, if you are traveling from the states and want to observe the April holidays as the Canadians do, here's some information that will help.  By the way, they don't do "April's Fools Day", so never mind about that one.  However, April 6th is National Tartan Day; this honors the many Scots in Canada and their descendants and is a day everyone wears their traditional tartans and colors.  Palm Sunday/April 13th, First Day of Passover/April 15th, and Easter/April 20th are the same dates as in the US.  One that is unique to Canada is St. Georges Day.  This commemorates the life of St. George, a Roman soldier and Christian martyr.  This will be April 21st.   For more information on special days in Canada check out  Timeanddate.com

Experience The Magic Of "Yes" When You Visit Montreal Furnished Apartments

Fans of  'Yes' can see them in concert while living in a furnished apartment in March.  On March 31st they will perform at Le Theatre Capitole for one show.  This English rock band has performed all over the world over the last 45 years and is still rockn'.  Yes are among of the longest lasting and the most successful of the ’70s progressive rock groups.   They are one of only a few of the lasting success stories from that musical genre. The band, founded in 1968, overcame a generational shift in its audience and the departure of its most visible members at key points in its history to reach the end of the century as the definitive progressive rock band.  Be a part of the 'Yes' story; be a witness to history.   Gather your friends and get your tickets; then prepare for a trip back in time.

Experience "Sugaring-Off Season" During Your Stay In Furnished Apartments

A true indicator that Spring is just around the corner is "sugaring-off season".   If you're in Old Port or the Botanical Gardens during this time you will get your fill of sweetness.  The term describes the time of year that the sap is running in the maple trees and will be collected to make syrup.  In times past you would find small establishments in maple forested areas on the outskirts of major cities that specialize in producing maple syrup.  These 'sugar shacks' were the processing plants once the trees had been tapped.  The heavy smell of sweet maple would waft over the breeze carrying into town. You may smell this while staying in furnished apartments in Montreal this winter or spring.  People would venture out to buy cans of syrup for the  year.  If you would like to visit and tour one of the sites try Cabane à Pierre, in Frampton, Québec, near the Beauce region of the province, just south of Québec City. Have a meal of sinfully delicious pancakes, baked beans, ham, sausage, meat pies and omelets.  All are smothered in home made maple syrup; watch your sweet tooth !
