Everyone in Coralie’s family has got a favourite place in
the underground city. ‘Mine is the Maisonneuve Theatre,’
she says. ‘I go to lots of concerts there.’ And her family’s
favourites? ‘My sister’s into fashion, so hers is the Desjardins
shopping centre. My parents’ main interest is art, so theirs
is the Museum of Contemporary Art. And my brother loves
watching ice hockey, so his is the Bell Centre ice hockey
stadium.’
But the underground city isn’t popular with everyone.
Winter is Olivier’s favourite season. ‘Whose favourite place
is underground?’ asks fifteen-year-old Olivier Roy. ‘I can’t
understand that – it isn’t natural. There are lots of fantastic
winter sports in Canada, like skiing, ice-climbing and
snowboarding. At the weekend, I’m always outside. I hate
being inside in winter.’
