At a press conference on Thursday, Premier François Legault, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and several other government representatives announced huge new investments into Canada's aerospace industry. These investments are set to create "more than 1,000" high-paying jobs in Quebec and the rest of Canada.
"The projects announced today are tangible platforms for creating exciting jobs," Aéro Montréal explained in a press release.

As for the investments, the governments of Quebec and Canada will put forward "$685 million to support the development of tomorrow's sustainable aerospace technologies."
"This funding will support projects led by Bell Textron Canada, CAE and Pratt & Whitney Canada, representing investments of $2 billion in Canada, including nearly $1.6 billion in Quebec."
The same companies will also offer "co-op placements to more than 6,200 students as part of these projects."

Different exhibitions and events happen in Galerie 203 all the time, so there's always something new for visitors to see and experience.
And when events are held, they're done big. A red carpet typically awaits you outside on rue Notre-Dame, making you feel like royalty as you walk in.
During the events, a bar with all kinds of alcohols and wines, which are usually locally made, is available. There's also a DJ to set the vibe for the evening.
Founder Corinne Asseraf "imagined the Gallery 203 as a place of discovery, of meeting and exchange between artists and art enthusiasts" and you can feel exactly that the second you walk through the doors.
A beautiful piano sits in the middle of the gallery, making it feel like you've stepped foot in a scene from The Great Gatsby.
The mastermind behind all of this, Asseraf, has such a warming, kind presence, which is reason enough to take a visit to Galerie 203 whenever you're strolling through Old Montreal. She let MTL Blog know that anyone and everyone is welcome in her gallery.
Address: 227, rue Notre-Dame O., Montreal, QC
Opening hours:
Monday – Friday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Saturday – Sunday 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
* Hours for events differ.
