Easter weekend is just around the corner — and if you've been holding off on chocolate (or wine) since Lent, the finish line is in sight. But before you dive into holiday mode, keep in mind that Easter also brings closures and schedule changes across Montreal.

If a toasted bagel is your go-to breakfast, you might want to hit pause before biting into your next one. The Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPAQ) has issued a province-wide recall for a series of bagels made by Brossard Bagel Inc., located in Longueuil. The recall includes plain, sesame, and poppy seed bagels that were sold at room temperature in clear plastic bags, up until April 15, 2025, in various stores across Quebec — including major chains like Maxi.

It's official. This season just keeps getting sweeter.
The Canadiens have agreed to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract (2024-25 to 2026-27) with forward Ivan Demidov. News release ↓ #GoHabsGo https://t.co/2dy5C9n7Vk
And with that assist, Nick Suzuki becomes the first #GoHabsGo player to net 80 points in a year since Alex Kovalev (2007-08). The curse is broken folks.
