Q&A: Canadiana Gifts
Q: Hi Sandra, we are going to a wedding in Europe. Any ideas on where to get a Canadiana gift? Thanks so much, your book and site are my standbys for info!
A: Everything possible Canadian can be bought in shops on St-Paul Street in Old Montreal. Start at Place Jacques Cartier and walk west. There are many shops there, some artisan run, some souvenir-y. More unique items are in the shops inside Marche Bonsecours, east of the Place.
You can also buy aboriginal art at Galerie Le Chariot, 446 Place Jacques Cartier or Indianica on St-Paul. Good ideas for Holiday gifts. And don’t forget the Hudson’s Bay blankets, etc. sold at La Baie.
