The City of Montreal is extending its offer of free weekend parking downtown until the end of March. Drivers heading into the Ville-Marie borough can park their vehicles for free, between 6 p.m. Friday and the end of the weekend. With the COVID-19 vaccination campaign set to begin in Montreal on Monday, the city says it wants to give businesses another boost heading into the spring. "The vaccination campaign allows us to see the light at the end of the tunnel," Mayor Valérie Plante said in a statement. In collaboration with the provincial government, the city unveiled a $60-million plan last December to jumpstart the downtown core.
