It has a vibrant, young feel to it. It is bilingual with English and French, but one hears many other languages reflecting the diversity of the population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Montreal dates back to the early 17th century when explorer Samuel de Champlain set up a fur trading post. Montreal was a French colony for 100 years until it was surrendered by France to Britain. In contemporary history, It was host of the 1967 World&#8217;s Fair and the 1976 Summer Olympics.  Today it is the economic and cultural center of Qu\u00e9bec, home to over 1.7M inhabitants and 4.2M in the greater metropolitan area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slightly over half of the population is French-speaking while 13% are English-speaking and the remainder a mix of languages from all over the world. Another testimonial to Montreal&#8217;s diversity is the fact that around 27% of its population identifies as belonging to an ethnic minority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
