The Cleanliness Brigade, a dedicated team

Downtown cleanliness: a dedicated team

Since 2001, Montréal centre-ville has had a cleanliness brigade that patrols the downtown streets 365 days a year. Between thirty and forty people clean the streets, depending on the season. A team dedicated to making downtown a cleaner, more pleasant place to live. They work daily to clean, green and clear snow from the main arteries of the territory. A territory, it should be remembered, that is vast, stretching from avenue Atwater to rue Saint-Urbain, and from Sherbrooke to Saint-Antoine.

Helping to beautify the city center: a top priority

Beautifying the downtown area is one of our top priorities. Every May, the Brigade installs flower boxes and baskets on the ground. From Sherbrooke to René-Lévesque, via Sainte-Catherine street and its side streets, more than 1,000 flower boxes and 68 planters, including 20 new potted trees, will beautify the downtown area until September.

For a clean and welcoming downtown

Since its creation over twenty years ago, the mission of Montréal centre-ville has been to make downtown a clean and welcoming place. Whether you’re a worker, a resident or just passing through, the Brigade is committed to making downtown a clean and pleasant place to be.

This project is made possible thanks to the support of our partner, the Borough of Ville-Marie.
