Here's an inside look at the new indoor water park that opened right outside Montreal

Spring in Montreal means one thing above all else: you're not quite warm enough to be outside, but you're way too restless to stay in. Oceania, the long-awaited indoor water park that finally opened on Montreal's South Shore earlier this year, has been filling that gap nicely.

Located at 107 rue de l'Industrie in Beloeil — about a 30-minute drive from the island — Oceania has been years in the making. Construction started back in February 2020, with a 2021 opening that never happened thanks to the pandemic, skyrocketing costs, and a string of setbacks that pushed the final price tag from $34.5 million to $47 million.

5 Montreal sex clubs you should know about for a seriously spicy night out

Montreal has long been known as Sin City — well, at least before Las Vegas came along and claimed the title. But the reputation didn't come from nowhere. The city has a long-standing, openly embraced the adult scene, and it's still alive and well today.

Each one has its own atmosphere, rules and clientele, but they all share a common foundation: consent is non-negotiable, and what happens inside stays inside.

I moved from the UK to Canada and here's why I chose Toronto over Montreal

Standing on a crowded London Underground platform, squashed between impatient commuters and oblivious tourists as my eyes itched from the dusty air, I decided it was time for a change.
