Olar Eclipse Quebec News Today

Since April 8 is your only chance to see a total solar eclipse in Montreal for the next 180-odd years, you'd better make sure you're ready so you don't miss it. If you need help deciding on the best Montreal spot to catch a stellar view of this rare astronomical phenomenon, then you're in luck because there's an app for that and it's totally free.

On April 8, 2024, a solar eclipse will cross North America. Montreal lies directly in its path. From much of the city, the moon will appear to completely block out the sun — a total eclipse. But because Montreal Island finds itself right at the northern limit of the path of totality, areas north of the city, such as Laval, won't get to experience the full event.
