The City of Montreal has announced another plan to make the city more green. As of 2022, the city says it will update its bylaws to ban a whole bunch of single-use plastics.

First, the city will update its bylaw to "prohibit the distribution of all plastic bags reserved for shopping in retail businesses and will extend the scope to restaurants and home delivery." This change would come into effect 12 months after August 23, the date city council is scheduled to adopt the regulation.
